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 love to curl up on my owner's lap and have my ears rubbed. I got off to a bad start, was found under the hood of a car and was so black they thought I was a black cat. I was taken to the Humane Society where my owner (thankfully) found me and adopted me. I'm soooooo glad. Now I live in a nice house, get lots of food and love. There's a big dog that lives there too and we love to sniff each other and give lots of kisses. I get to sleep where I want, have lots of toys and am pretty much queen of the house. I love it!
