Hi all, I have a beautiful 2 year old baby whos had her very one beautiful litter of 7 now this is her first litter and she is doing so well, she doesn' reject any kittens and we are on 15 days so far!
My only concern is her nipples seem to be swollen, I understand she has 7 kittens that need a lot of food to keep them strong so it is to be expected but in wary of her developing further problems.
I spoke to the local pet store yesterday who sold me some milk formula for the kittens (which she also has been drinking as it' good for mama cats), He sold me a nursing kit and told me to hand feed them as much as possible to take the strain off. She is still spending time with them but we have covered her nipples for now and are feeding them as much as they will drink each sitting.
I have never had a litter before and just want to see if there is anything else I can do? Mama still isn't rejecting kittens even with me handling and feeding them but just wanting what's best for all of them.
Appreciate any help and please no nasty comments, she is booked in for nuetering next month, she was an indoor cat who escaped one day.
Thank you xx
