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.

This is Ginger. He was a stray before we adopted him. He is a pretty old cat, and we are not sure of his age. We got him a little while before I took this picture of him. He doesn't like hugs very much. He is still a little nervous around humans, and we think it's because his former owner was not very gentle with him. He is such a sweetheart. He loves to come in the house and eat table scraps. He doesn't play much, and his favourite lounging spot is outside in the sun.
