    Help! Nursing cat is weak, shaky, has sore nipples!

    Sorry for not updating, it was a long run, but Hedwig and the kittens are fine! After a few days it finally became obvious that she had mastitis with a side of bacterial diarrhea. She was given more steroids and antibiotics, and, what probably did the most for her, an appetite-enhancing gel...

    Help! Nursing cat is weak, shaky, has sore nipples!

    I'm weighing the kits as you suggested, they keep growing, at least for now that's a good sign. my brother has a bit more difficult problems, but yeah, he's lactose intollerant and goatmilk works for him :) we have goat milk quite often so I could give Hedwig some, too. I'm trying to be...

    Help! Nursing cat is weak, shaky, has sore nipples!

    Help! Nursing cat is weak, shaky, has sore nipples!

    Thank you everyone! You must be right, milk is not enough, she looks terrible. I don't know what to do, I fed her grits cooked with milk and camomile tea, added kitten milk powder too for a bit of nutrition... she won't eat on her own and keeps breastfeeding the kittens, who are _constantly_...

    Help! Nursing cat is weak, shaky, has sore nipples!

    Thank you for your help! The doc said she shouldn't eat meat because maybe there's a bacterial reason to her indigestion. He told us to give her lactose-free milk and add kitten milk powder, so that's lucky because that's exactly what I did. Definitely will watch the kittens. I'm concerned that...

    Help! Nursing cat is weak, shaky, has sore nipples!

    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...
