My girl, Lexus, has a litter of four healthy kittens on June 7th. All has progressed normally until today when I notice that there is a large swollen area on her belly, right below her right shoulder in the two mammary glands located close by. There is no heat, no discoloration and she does not appear to be in any discomfort when I examine and palpate the area. I suspect a blocked nipple. Does anyone have any knowledge of or experience in this area? I will most certainly be calling my vet just as soon as they open in the morning, but is there anything I can do for her here at home overnight? Thanks in advance.
