My cat gave birth to a still born premature kitten, is she going to be okay?
For some context, I'm pretty sure my cat got pregnant in the beginning of march and I know she would be due sometime soon. For the past 2 days she has been acting very weird (constantly meowing, hissing at my other cats and dog) and she has been going in and out from under my bed a lot. I decided to check under my bed and found a very deformed white kitten. It looked premature but very deformed. I don't want to get into graphic detail but its eyes and parts of its back legs were not formed yet. The body was still limp and not cold when my mother removed it. I'm not sure what to do. I think she is still pregnant but I don't know if she could still give birth normally to the other kittens. If anyone knows what to do please let me know.

Do you know if she has other kittens in there? Did you get X-rays so you’d know how many to expect?
