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 first met Caddy (short for 'Cadillac') when I decided to become a foster parent for Friend of Abandoned Pets (Ottawa) in February 2003. He lived with me for a month before my parents decided to adopt him and they've now had him for close to a year! He is definitly the most affectionate lap-cat I have ever met! He follows people around waiting for them to sit down so he can jump up on their lap and 'demands' to be petted.
