Kittens and Birth Infections – Pet tip 241
When kittens are born they are extra small and fragile. This increases their potential of becoming ill or getting an infection. Infections in newborn kittens are quite serious as their bodies are small and they have not built up adequate immunity against many diseases or potential infections that may harm them. This article will focus on three infections that can affect newborn kittens; umbilical infections, toxic milk syndrome and septicemia.
When a female cat (aka a queen) gives birth, she will bite open the amniotic sac that surrounds the kitten. She will then chew through the umbilical cord of the kitten. Normally there are no problems.

I am very shy, and wary around strangers. I always hide when the doorbell rings! I hate my dog-sister Maggie, and don't like having my tummy rubbed. I do like to look out the window and watch things go by...and if it's quiet outside, I like to go out and eat grass (but run inside as soon as somebody makes a noise). Sometimes I'm very friendly, but I like to remain aloof and spend time by myself.
