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.

Pepper is a big personality in a tiny body. This girl is fearless! She is very adventurous and has a knack for getting into trouble.
We adopted her from a no-kill shelter after several adoptions fell through. Pepper has a "profound" heart murmur and is not expected to have a long life. She is approximately 2 years old now and is determined to pack as much fun and adventure into her life as possible. Someone evidently forgot to tell her that she's supposed to be "fragile", because that's the last word I would use to describe her.
