So I thought I would give you pictures of the gorgeous kittens and the pretty mama that has given me all the worry but all are now doing great
Thank you all for your support and comments they have really helped xx
Ok so next question, the kittens want to explore, but mama keeps putting them back in the crate (her new kitten box) any ideas? I think it's to do with not seeing them for a week I know I would be the same
So since writing this mama decided the box she was in was too small now and has moved to the dog crate downstairs, mama and kittens are a lot happier.
And no she doesn't have a fever but now she has moved downstairs all those questions have been answered
Ok so went to my vet this morning because something in her burst and it was her mammory gland, so the vet has given me a vest for her and something to clean her wound with and to clean her other nipples with salt water, but my question is do you have any ideas on how I can keep her kitten box...
Just to update you all mama is doing much better eating and drinking more now, babies are doing well. I have an appointment with my vet tomorrow to see how mama is doing.
I have managed to buy some of the bottles from the video and some syringes, the vet has advised me to not put the kittens back with mum to let her milk dry up and then start weaning them next week when they are 3 weeks old
My cat is sleeping a lot at the moment, the vet has said to carry on with the medication, she should start to improve by Monday if not get an appointment in Tuesday.
Kittens are not liking being hand fed but eating between 2 and 5ml
It developed Friday evening, it came in very fast, I needed to take her to the emergency vets because mine was closed. My only concern with putting mama back with kittens is if they nurse from the infected nipple. Mama was able to get back in with kittens last night while we were asleep
Mama cat has mastitis and I need to hand feed the 2 week old kittens, I have 5 kittens and they don't want to latch on to the bottle because it's not mum. How can I help encourage them to eat?
Hello,
So my cat 2 weeks ago had her first litter (completely unplanned!) and she has been given Synulox 50mg 2times a day for 5 days and metacam 3.5 for 3 days for mastitis, the vet said it is the same sort of thing given to humans while pregnant and breastfeeding but the studies are...
