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.

Westley is one of the world's happiest cats. His life started out not well...under a dirty porch with his brother and sister. Soon he was taken to a nice shelter, where his whole family was adopted by different people. When I saw the poor little kitten in the cage, I said "Do you want to go home with me?" He yelled back "MEOW!". He still talks to me all the time. He loves travelling in the car and going to visit his owners' parent's place where his best friend Ed the Siamese and Audrey the Jack Russell live. His purr is like no other! He is very smart and picked up a few tricks from the dog, sitting, shaking a paw, fetching... Westley is a great litle friend :)
