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.

Pumpkin is named after his favorite dessert, pumpkin pie. We got him just before Thanksgiving and we had left a pumpkin pie out on the stove while we went out for a visit. When we came back the pie was gone and the cat was full. Pumpkin enjoys laying on his back doing his impression of " Oh my Gosh, someone shot the cat!". He also greets visitors by jumping onto the hood of their vehicles as they pull into the driveway while the car is still moving meowing through the windshield until someone pets him. He is sure one of a kind.
