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.

Pumba is a very intelligent,curious and abnormal cat. I say this cause he washes his paws under running water, has been caught brushing his teeth against our toothbrushes and he runs behind the shower curtain when anyone goes to take a shower! He also plays fetch; we throw his ball and he brings it back to us. I wonder sometimes if he thinks he is human! He loves water and tends to sleep in the sink.
