    Discharge on Momma Cats nipples
    Our cat just had 5 kittens 5 days ago. I noticed that there was a dried discharge covering the area around two of her nipples. It looked like puss (Gross, I know). I am very concerned because she seems to have lost interest in feeding the kittens. This is her 2nd litter and this did not happen the first go around. Does anyone have any ideas? Should she see a vet?

    It's possible that she has an infection of the mammary glands. I'd suggest seeing the vet, especially since she isn't interested in feeding the kittens. If she does have an infection, you are probably going to have to bottle-feed the kittens.

    Froggy is right,the kittens will need to be bottle fed.KMR,is a milk replacer you can buy from a large pet store or vet ,and you will need a bottle.If she does have an infection she should see a vet for treatment.
