Shes veryyyy SICK ???????????????

Oh, poor baby! I am so glad you were able to see a vet. Great job!

I had mild mastitis myself when breastfeeding a child, and was advised to keep nursing him...sorry for giving you bad advice!

She needs to eat or it will cause other health problems. I suggest tempting her will table scraps of food you know she likes, or baby food chicken. Remember, cats should not have onion or garlic. Also, kitten glop would be good to offer the Momma and the kittens. It would help you be sure they were getting plenty of calories!

OMG that poor baby! That looks so uncomfortable for her-that big red swollen thing is going to burst?!? O poor kitty will it have to be stitched?

She does need to eat- maybe some smelly chicken or tuna will make her eat
You said she is on pedialyte (sp)- that's good so she doe'snt get too dehyrated, especially being on anti-biotics. Some food will probably make her feel a little better, if theres anything she'll eat. I'm so sorry for you and your kitty. I'm glad the kittens are a little older so they are'nt dependant so much on her so she can rest. You take it easy, and keep us updated. I'll be praying for you both

I'm soo glad you got her to the vet finally, I was worried about her. I hope she recovers soon, and starts eating!! Oh, and I hope the kitties are okay too

I hope shes feeling better soon and everything works out ok.

I really commend you for taking the cat to the vets.

How did you manage it in the end?

I'm so relieved that you managed to get her to a vet and on antibiotics. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she recovers quickly, and that the kittens thrive on the regular food.

Oh, that is such good news - that you got her to the vet. Prayers and healing vibes coming your way for your kitty.

Prayers and {{{{{{Get Well Soon Vibes}}}}} to your kitty.

Thats fantastic news that you got her to the vet!!

Poor thing! It looks so horrible, it must hurt so much.

I hope the kittens are going well, I'm sure they'll do ok without their Mom for a little while. I would let them hang out with her for a little bit, just make sure they don't try to suckle, so she can at least see them.

I would'nt let them too close to her, the first thing they will try to do after beeing away from her so long, is suckle -- Maybe you could bring em' in one by one, let em' visit a second. I don't think the momma wants to be bothered right now, she looks like she's in pain

True - Poor thing.

But I wouldn't want to take her away from her babies as well - Maybe you put put them in a cat carrier and she could sniff around them!

Very good news!

I would also strongly recommend having her spayed as soon as the vet thinks she is stable enough. It will make her milk dry up and help her get over the infection much more quickly.

thanks all for the advice

She today was walking around and eating, looking for a lots of cuddles and love.
looks like the kittens still need milk rather than only food. They were all night meowing for food, even though they went to the plate and ate some soaked dry food. Ill go to walmart and get some KMR.

thats wonderful news

You can also mix some wet canned or pouched food with the dry to make it tastier for the kittens. The wet food will soften it too

Poor mama kitty - looks like that had to hurt a bunch!!! Glad she's doing better and that kittens are OK.

Sending healing vibes to mama kitty and to you

I'm so glad that she is doing better, please keep us updated

Hugs and loving healing vibes to sweet Mama and her kittens.
((((hugs))))

I started to read all this last night, I am glad to hear that you got her in and I hope everything turns out good.

It never fails that they always get sick or hurt on weekends or late at night so they can't get to a vet very easy.
