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.

My name is Lucy. When I was very, very little, people weren't very nice to me. A mean person once hurt my head, so now I can't hear very well and sometimes I have trouble understanding things. Also, I didn't get much food, so I'm not very big. My mommy likes to say that I'm like a permanent kitten! One day, I was lying in the street not feeling very good, and some nice people came along and helped me! They put me in a cage near other kitties, and gave me food and soft things. One day my mommy came and took me home with her, and I've been there ever since! I sure love my mommy and daddy. I love my sister Kali and my brother Logan too, but sometimes I feel like they try to keep mommy and daddy all to themselves, so I fix that! Oh yes, I do! I pee all over things, to make sure that everyone knows they're ALL MINE! Once I peed on mommy's leg while she was sleeping. I don't think she liked that very much. But she sure loves me! Yes, she does! She strokes me and pets me and I suck her fingers and we talk allllll the time, oh yes we do, I say "Mommy! Mommy, look, remember, it's me! Lucy!" and Mommy says "Hello, Lucy!" And then snuggles me. I like snuggles. Mmmm. Snuggles.
