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 sit in my people's laps and be held. I am very little and cute and soft and cuddly. My second favorite place to be is in the front yard, in a sunny spot under the bougainvillea. I have a very loud, distinctive meow that I use when my people are not giving me enough attention. That makes them pet me! I love it when I get treats: stuff like chicken, tuna, and salmon. I'm a little spoiled that way! I was very embarrassed when I snatched a piece of bell pepper from my person's plate and it became impaled on the two little fangs that poke out of my mouth. Next time I'm sticking to my own bowl!
