It takes a few weeks for the milk to dissipate. After the last kitten is gone, the milk should begin to "bag up", i.e. get hard, within a week or two. In time, this will all get absorbed.

If the nipples are warm to the touch and beginning to turn color, that may be a sign of mastitis. I would take her to your vet to be certain all is well.

Hi,

If I am not mistaken there is a member at Petfinder that has BSH and is breeding them.
Sorry I cant recall the name.
If its a pure preed BSH you are looking at least RM2K and above my friend.

Added on March 10, 2011, 9:15 amMastitis is an infection of the mammary gland which can be life-threatening. No home remedy this has to be treated by a veterinarian/doctor. It sometimes occurs during early lactation. It is usually confined to one gland and may follow a simple congestion or overstocking. The affected gland will be tense, hot, painful and enlarged. If it is only congested, the application of heat and subsequent gentle massage will bring normal milk out of the teat orifice, and the situation may be speedily relieved by milking the gland concerned. If an abscess is present, the cat will become anorexic, dull and feverish, and in addition to pain and swelling in the gland, a pointing, or purplish area of fluid pressure from the accumulation of pus will be seen. Antibiotics are essential. While, ideally, they should be chosen according to culture and sensitivity, first line treatment usually consists of a broad-spectrum antibiotic, eg, amoxycillin-clavulanic acid, or a cephalosporin.

You can try warm packs several times a day to the area and some light massage. In the worst case it can actually burst open and ooze infection. Spaying will resolve the issue forever.

But you must confirm if the poor kitty is suffering from mastitis first before you start treating it. Maybe trying to squeeze the milk out or as mentioned put a warm compress to ease the pain.

Good Luck!

Hi Seleisha.......

First of all you need to identify if its 'kurap' (mange) or fungal.
Mange will be usually around the ears, tail of the kitten.
Kurap will have bumpy and hard crusts. If you touch it will be very rough (berbiji biji)
If its fungal usually the fur will fall off and there will be round patches on the body.
No hard crusts.

Malaseb is only for fungal and its costs around RM38.00 to RM45.00 per bottle.
It depends on the petshop.

If you want you can bring the kittens to Dr. Teoh at Pandan Indah (opposite the Police Station) for a mange jap.
It only cost RM10.00

As for the eyes, the kittens could be suffering from flu.
Go to the pharmacy and buy a tube of Teramycin.
One tube costs RM5.00 only.
Wash the kittens eyes with a wet cotton wool.
After washing put the cream on the eye.
But you still need to treat the flu.
Flu medication will costs around RM15.00 for tablets.
You can buy from Dr. Teoh as well.

Hope the above information helps.

OMG! you have 13 kittens?
All from one mum?

Sometimes he does and sometimes he does not.
I know Tropic Vets near Taman Segar does not charge consultancy.
Last time I brought my cat that had fever, I was only charged RM10 he..he..
Then when my cat had fungal he charged me RM35.00 (antibiotik, shampoo, pill and microscope check) very cheap man.
But now I go to Dr. Teoh as he is more detailed.
No mange cannot transmit to humans but fungal/ringworm yes.
So you need to wash your hands thoroughly after handling them.
My neighbour who saves strays usually use minyak gamat on mange.
What she does is rub the minyak gamat on the affected part and then once the oil has seeped into the skin she will scrap it off.
She told me so far it works but a bit slow compared to japs.
For your information mange is caused by mites that live in the blood and can only be killed by an injection.

What did Dr. Teoh say?
What is causing the dehydration?
Try to syringe feed it with glucose water every now and then.
Pray for the best.

Added on March 12, 2011, 10:56 pmWhen you introduce new food to your cats you should do it gradually meaning mix the new food into the old food and decreasing the old food by day and increasing the new food.
By doing this you will not upset your cats tummies as their digestive system is very sensitive thus they are vomitting or having loose stools.

Hi Seleisha,

Sorry to hear about the kitten.
First of all you need to stop the diarrhea.
No milk please.
Boil chicken meat and feed your kitten with it.
If it does not want to eat carry on with AD as it is the best food for sickly cats.
Please don't give Gatorade, instead give the kitten 100 plus, but shake out all the gas first.
Dr. Teoh did not give any medication to stop the diarrhea?
If the diarrhea is severe please visit a vet soon as Dr. Teoh is closed today.

Good Luck.

Yes, you can force feed her with AD by syringe.
But you need to mix a bit of water into the AD first.
Not too watery though.

Oh no... sorry to hear that.
If she is having bad diarrhea I think better go and see a vet soon.
Klinik Yuan is also ok.
I think the most is he will give medication to stop the diarrhea.
Diarrhea is very dangerous to small kittens.
They can get dehydrated very fast.
Please act fast.

Maybe she is full and tired.
Just let her rest ok?
And from time to time give her lots of water to drink
And feed her with AD too.
As Dr. said, she needs her strength.

You can give 100 plus but like I said shake out all the gas first.
Then only give it to her.
Make sure when you syringe it dont put the syringe in the middle of the month or else you will get water in the lungs and she will die from it.
Slowly squirt into the side of the mouth whilst holding her up ok?
Frontline has alcohol in it and it will be cold for the little one.
Better dont first.
Bear with the fleas first.
You can kill it anytime.
Most important is getting the kitten back its strength.
Try not to stress it more.

If you have can make a homemade hot water bottle it would be great.
Meaning put some warm water (not hot ya!) into a bottle.
Wrap it in a cloth and put it beside the kitten so that it will feel warm or you can put her under a yellow light which will also give warmth.
Either one will do.
Try to give more ad rather than glugose water ok?
Maybe once in every two hours.
Not too much otherwise she will be too full.

You are such an angel to save the poor kitty.
I am praying hard for the kitten.

Shedding of fur is normal in cats.
This usually happens in long haired cats especially.
Cats will shed a few times in a year, also when it is too hot, or if the food is low in nutrients.
Also to prevent cats from shedding you should groom your cat on a daily basis.
By grooming you will remove all the dead hair thus reducing the fur from flying all over your house.
But for me its very important to feed your cats with good quality food to prevent shedding.
I have long haired cats and I am proud to say that the fur does not fly around the house.

I give my cats Blackwood too but I dont seem to have this problem.
Stress also could be another reason as to why cats shed.
Maybe when you put her outside its too hot and that is why your cat tend to shed.

You need to wait till your cat is on heat in order to mate her.
There are no tips my friend.
Let nature take its own course.
You cannot force animals to mate

Stop the milk.
Cats do not need to drink milk.
If your cat is having diarrhea for more than 3 times and the backside is red.
Immediately bring to the Vet.
Or else home remedy.... boil some chicken breast in water (no salt) and then 'carik carik' the meat and then feed to your cat.
The chicken meat will harden the stool.

No, we don't need milk for the cat actually.
What is most import is good and quality food for the kitten to grow.
Make sure you feed it with kitten food as the protein content is higher.
The kitten needs protein to grow up big and strong

You need to have patience.
Talk to it everyday.
Put a little food on your hand and try to give it to the cat.
Let it trust you first.
Then you can pet it.

No way human medication can work on animals.
Bring your cat to the vet as soon as possible.
Flu can kill young kittens
Also eyes can get infected.
The eyes will go red and have lots of discharge.
Then will get swollen and then it will have pus inside the eyes.
Treat it before it gets worse.

You are such an Angel to save them.
Why not try to put up in Petfinder or Mudah?

Wow... such a beautiful cat.
I would say that its a Domestic Medium Hair cat as the fur is not that long.

Why dont you bring your cat to UPM for a test?
It only takes a few minutes to determine if your cat is suffering from Sporo.
Based on my friend whose cat is also diagnosed with Sporo, it can be cured with the right medication.
Two of her cats that had sporo is cured and very healty today.
