My Pets asked in PetsCats · 8 years ago

Is there something wrong with my females cats nipples or is this normal?

She had kittens but I found them news homes and now her nipples I think have milk in them and they are really fat/big, and I think it hurts her when I pick her up because she makes this weird noice. I have booked her in to get desexed on Thursday ( that was the only day I could get because they are closed for New Years and she's not going outside and she isn't pregnant again!) so I'm not sure if there's something wrong? Is this normal? If it is the milk inside her will it go away in time?

    I agree with oppiol mom. Something is wrong. If the kittens are old enough to give away, the mom should not be making enough milk for them to be so swollen and tender.

    yes it is normal that has only happened because the kittens have irritated the nipples and the milk will go away eventually

    She likely has mastitis (inflammation of the mammary gland tissue). She will probably need antibiotics. It is a painful condition and warm compresses can help with drainage and ease the pain.
