    Pregnant cat milk glands are clogged
    My cat is pregnant and her glands or milk ducts are really swollen around her nipples. I thought the more pregnant she became the less swollen they would be, what do I do??

    In humans, this is called mastitis. I think a quick call to your vet would be appropriate. You could try massage, but this may only eleviate the problem temporarily. You don't want infection to happen.

    If it's not clearing itself up, then you should talk to a vet. How far along is your momma-cat?
