You can’t do anything except hold a warm compress to them if she’ll let you.

Do you plan to have her spayed now?

Do you need help finding a low cost spay clinic near your home?

It’s very important that she stays 100% inside and away from intact males until then.

Aww. It’s a shame the kittens did not stay with mom for 12 weeks. It will take about 2 weeks for mom’s milk to dry up.

Holding a damp, warm compress on her mammaries will give her relief. A vet can give you something to dry them up also.

If her mammaries get hard and red she may have mastitis. If this happens she will need an antibiotic.

Can you borrow a couple of her kittens back for 3-4 more weeks? Their suckling would help her as well.
