Unfortunately not. If you are sure about the days, I think it would be best to have her checked at your local veterinarian to see if the kittens are all vital and make sure there is no significant obstruction of the pelvic canal (by one of the puppies).
Unfortunately there is not much you can effectively do back home to help.

My cat is 68 days pregnant and not in labor. Should I be concerned?

Hello. The average gestation is 63 days, but if all is OK in that Silvy is eating & acting fairly normal, then I would give her a few more days. It is possible that your dates may be off by a few days, or she bred on additional days. As long as there is no problems with her overall health, she will deliver when ready ( & she does look ready ). Any concerns, please see your veterinarian.

My cat is 64 days pregnant with no labor signs. Should I be worried?

Gestation is about 63-65 days, so you should be seeing signs of labor soon. If your timing is right, it should be any day now. You may be slightly off on your timing and maybe she has been pregnant for less time than you think? Look for signs of labor such as nesting behavior, vocalization, being more affectionate, licking the vulva and a change in appetite. Cats do not always give clear signs of labor like dogs so it can be tricky sometimes to notice when a cat is in labor. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

My cat is 65 days pregnant with no nesting signs. Should I worry?

Cats can go up to 68 days of pregnancy, so I wouldn't worry just yet. Set up Mano in her own room with a nesting box, food, water, and litter. Have her seen by a vet if she reaches 69 days of pregnancy with no signs of going into labor.

My cat is 68 days pregnant, waters broke, no kittens. Vet now?

I would take Pepsi into a vet immediately. A cat's pregnancy can last from 58-68 days, but if this end point is reached with no signs of kittens, then veterinary attention is needed. She needs evaluation from a vet to determine if she needs help with giving birth. Please take her into a vet now.

My cat is 68 days pregnant, but her belly isn't big. What's wrong?

Hello. It is very difficult to say if she is or is not pregnant from these pictures, because if she is only carrying 1 or 2 kittens, then she would not be as big as one carrying 4-6 kittens. And if she is truly 68 days into a pregnancy, she is overdue. If she does have kittens you should be able to rub on her abdomen & feel some substantial "bumps" at this point in time.

Pregnant cat 63 days: nipples smaller, lost appetite. Should I worry?

While some people notice a change in the nipples when a cat is pregnant it is not a very accurate predictor. I think you should see a veterinarian to confirm the pregnancy and make sure the kittens are okay and not in distress. Occasionally cats will need help with labor either through medical management or a c-section and if she is 63 days today it would be a good idea to check for signs of fetal distress.

My dog is pregnant and 65 days along. What should I do?

Continue to wait. There is a range for pets when it comes to when they will actually give birth, just like in people. The range is 58-72 days with an average of 65 days. So continue to monitor her for signs of impending labor. If she does start the labor process and is having complications then it's best to take her to your nearest vet for assistance. Here is a website link with things to watch out for. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=678 Best wishes with Tasha and her impending puppies. I hope everything goes well.
