Buttercup delivered one kitten about 3.5 weeks ago. She has been nursing and caring for him, and all has been going well. Theo has one nipple he nurses from and that I am aware, he does not nurse from the others. Buttercup has some swelling in her tummy/side near the nipple Theo nurses from (its noticeable, you can see she is bigger there when she walks). Does this sound normal? We are not able to get her into the vet until tomorrow, and I think he will do her spay surgery while she is in. Is there anything we should do for her in the meantime. Is it safe for Theo to be eating wet kitten food? If the vet does the say surgery, Will Buttercup still be able to nurse, and if she doesn't, will the kitty be able to get by on kitten food or will we need milk replacement?
