Hi everyone!
I desperately need your help! Our cat mom's nipples are red (they all look like a hickey), she moves slow and a bit weird, seems really weak and her legs shake...
I'm not sure what's useful info so I'll write about her in general... She had her very first litter about 3-4 weeks ago (I'm sorry but I can't be sure, but I think it's 3 weeks), 3 kittens were born (labor was long but all went ok).
The mom is really protective of the kittens, she lets us pet her and them, but we have an other litter of bigger kitties in the garden and other two grown up cats, so I guess she's anxious because even though we don't let any cat in the bathroom where her litter is, the place is basically overcrowded...
She didn't really leave her kittens in the past few days, so I guess she might have been overnursing them, but I'm very concerned because she had diarrhea (we found that on the bathwroom floor), otherwise I don't know if she used the litter since then. She won't eat. I got her to drink lactose-free milk, added a bit milk powder for kittens in it and she drank quite a lot. Now she's resting, it didn't seem to be a good idea letting her back to the kittens...
Help!! What do I do? I'm so concerned Thanks in advance! Ella
