hi guys, 

so our foster cammie had some kittens about three-four weeks ago, and this past week she had a bit of a problem. she stopped eating and letting her kittens feed. we started bottlefeeding them and i had to force her to eat some mush with a syringe. she acts better now, is eating again and trying to feed her babies, but we noticed one of her teats is swollen. the nipple looks like it's close to bitten off. it's red and warm and she acts like it's pretty painful. i can't afford a vet visit right now, so is there anything i can do for her until i can?

thank you! we got the antibiotics and cleared up her infection. she's doing well, but unfortunately all six of her kittens died. they stopped eating and became resistant to feeding and the vet thinks it was pneumonia that took most of them since it was so hard to bottlefeed them.
