Pregnant Cat With Dry Nipples

My cat is soon going to give birth only 2 nipples are producing milk and the others are dry,so should I put olive oil on the ones that are dry?

I'm really curious to see what kind of responses this gets as my kitty has the same thing going on and I thought maybe it was normal. Mine should give birth any day now and has hardly anything going on as far as milk but has really big dry nipples.

Yes, you can always put coldpressed olive or canola oil - or coldpressed cocoa oil should too be fine.

If you do worry the milk wont come in in time, get home some kmr or goats milk, so you arent defenceless.    Be sure you do have also a scale, so you know if the kittens get as much milk as they should, or if you must supplement them.

Thank you
