What is Dystocia ?
we try search at google and found some information about Dystocia, According to a source Dystocia mean difficult birth, and though cats sometimes require professional assistance to deliver kittens, or a C-section surgery, the general trend is for them to have very high success rates on their own.

A runt or dead kitten is not unusual to find within a normal litter, so this should not be a cause for concern, though the runt may require some extra care to help it “catch up” to its siblings.

Tracheal Collapse in Toy Breeds

Overview

Tracheal Collapse is a cartilage defect that may be hereditary. The trachea or windpipe is a rigid tube that connects the nose, mouth and throat to the lungs. Muscle connects the group of cartilage rings that form a C shape. Weak cartilage can make the C cartilage flatten. With a loss of curvature, the tracheal becomes loose and the membrane moves. As air enters into the chest, the membrane of intrathoracic trachea bloats outward. As air rushes out, the membrane droops in the C cartilage. The result is a tickling of the membrane that leads to coughing. With the collapse of the trachea, air cannot move in the obstructed airway. If the neck has abnormal tracheal rings, collapse often occurs during inhaling; if the chest has abnormal tracheal rings, the tracheal collapse usually occurs during expiration. The tracheal collapse may occur along the entire length. Especially serious is where the trachea enters the chest.
