Hi all,
First time posting here so hope I'm doing this right!
I have a stray cat where I work who had two kittens. The kittens are about nine or ten weeks old now and have been adopted. The mom was spayed and given her shots last week, and she was released back outside. She was separated from her last kitten this Wednesday after he went to his forever home. two of her teats have gotten a little swollen since then, and I am not sure if this is because she no longer has kittens nursing. The kittens had been eating kitten food (wet and dry) exclusively before they left but I'm wondering now if they were nursing when I couldn't see them. I've never taken care of a queen before, so I don't know how she's supposed to look when she's going through the weaning process. I wouldn't want to leave her for the weekend if it's mastitis but I'm also a little strapped for cash so I can't afford a big vet bill hence why I'm here first :/I've attached a picture, any advice would be appreciated.
They aren't hot to the touch from what I can tell and I haven't seen any discharge. She doesn't seem lethargic, and she's eaten some wet and dry food today.
