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.

We got Spanky from the local SPCA, which I foster kittens for until they are old enough to be adopted out. I had his Mom and his siblings from the time they were 4 days old. He is a very playful kitten and he likes to play with his new friends, Daisy ( a border collie) and Smokey ( other cat in the house). Spanky also likes koosh balls. He is very loving and likes to sleep on my pillow at night.. He already fits into the family, and we all love him. Spanky is growing up now and is a Great Cat.....
Please vote for Spanky............................Thank You , from his people the Procter's
