Hello - I am not an expert with this, but perhaps either of the members Sarthur2 or Kieka might have a suggestion when they have a chance to see your post. Hang in there!

This is not normal and looks bad. What country are you in?

Apply a warm, damp compress to each kitten’s umbilical area for relief, but they need an antibiotic. They will need kitten doses of clavamox or amoxicillin to cure the infection. Can you see another vet?

How old are the kittens, how many are there, and do all have this symptom?

Did their cords dry and fall off naturally or did you cut them? Zxie

I went to 5 different vets and they still said nothing is wrong with them and the kittens are now 10 days old and there’s 3 kittens 2 of them have discharge and I didn’t cut the cord

Okay, a bit of research indicates that small amounts of white discharge may be present and normal after the cord falls off, though I personally have not experienced this.

Apply a warm, damp cloth to the area 2-3 times a day, and use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin (or what your country has) several times a day.

If the discharge turns green or yellow, that will be more serious and need further oral antibiotic treatment.

i hope this takes care of it, but do keep a close watch and certainly keep us posted.

Hopefully, kittens are nursing well and gaining weight in the meantime. Zxie

The kittens were better but i was scared so I went to the vet yesterday and the veterinarian gave them blue medicine and gave me this one and told me to put it two times a day and now one of my kittens died

I'm so sorry . RIP sweetheart .

Don't blame yourself, please, kittens are incredibly fragile and sometimes we do everything we can and it still doesn't help.

Don't give up

im actually scared about my other kitten, because someone told me that the medicine vet gave my kittens is too strong on them that why one died

I'm so sorry . RIP sweetheart .

I’m so sorry! What is blue medicine? In the meantime, do not use the medicine anymore for now.
