As the number of family pet cats continues to increase, sometimes we may face a very difficult problem: What should we do if the female cat who has just finished taking the cat has no breasts? For this question, we first need to understand some basic knowledge.
In the first two days after a cat's childbirth, the female cat will secrete a special milk called colostrum. This milk is rich in antibodies, nutrients, etc., which can help new kittens build an immune system and strengthen their physical fitness. However, sometimes female cats may not be able to produce enough colostrum or even have no milk at all due to some reasons (such as infection, malnutrition, etc.). At this time, we need to take some measures to protect the health of the kittens.
First, we need to observe the kittens in a timely manner.
If kittens have clean eyes, nose, ears, full spirit, stable body temperature, and are capable of actively seeking nipples to feed, then they are likely not to need additional feeding. However, if kittens look weak, thin, don't move, or can't find their nipples to feed themselves, then we need to take timely measures.
Secondly, we can try feeding the kitten some cat milk powder. We can choose some high-quality cat milk powder, add water as instructed, and then feed the kitten with a liquid bottle (or a cotton swab or other tools). When feeding, you should pay attention to the amount and frequency of feeding. It is generally recommended to feed 6-8 times a day. The amount of feeding should be based on the weight and appetite of the kitten. When feeding, we can let the kittens lie on the palm of their hands or mats and cover their bodies with a warm towel, which will make the kittens feel comfortable and safe.
Again, we can consider using some auxiliary tools to help kittens feed. For example, when kittens are breastfeeding, we can gently massage their abdomen and back to promote digestion and defecation. We can also use a wet towel to help kittens clean up secretions near their mouth, nose and anus after they have finished breastfeeding. These small auxiliary measures can help kittens better digest and absorb nutrients.
Finally, we need to pay attention to maintaining a proper sanitary environment. When feeding kittens, we need to use clean and sterilized liquid bottles and pacifiers to avoid bacterial infection. We also need to change mats, towels, etc. regularly to keep the environment clean and dry.
In short, it is a very serious matter for a female cat who has just finished her cat to have no breasts. But as long as we stay alert, act in time, and take appropriate feeding measures, we can help kittens get through the difficulties and let them grow healthily and vigorously.
