Hopefully, you read my other post and are a bit familiar with the situation.. but I need a little advice.
When Title had her kittens on Sunday, she never bit off the cords and the kittens were still attached to the red thing (placenta?), and then later that night I noticed they had all tangled around one another and were unable to feed properly. My mother and I carefully separated them, but noticed a problem with one of the kittens. The cord had wrapped around her leg and cut off circulation, and now the foot is swollen and purple. It is much bigger than her other 3, but she is still able to use it to crawl around a bit. Considering she's only 2 days old, it's pretty hard to tell if this will have a real impact on her mobility. I was just wondering if I should take her to a vet. Since she is totally white (although the dad is black and mom all different colors), the dark foot might just look worse than it really is.
Oh, and another thing. This same kitten has one eye open a little. I know they typically don't open them for a few more days, and I'm not sure if this is something to be concerned about. The eye doesn't open fully, and the other one not at all, but from what I can see of the open one, it looks gray. I hope everything is okay with my little dear
Please help if you can.
P.S. the white one is my mom's favorite
