Kittens are more likely to get sick in their childhood, especially when weaning, which is more likely to cause diarrhea and other problems in cats. But do you know why there are lumps in the breasts of female cats after weaning?
1. If the female cat does not discharge the milk in time after weaning, it will cause milk growth and the lotion will aggregate and form hard blocks. In this regard, the owner needs to help the female cat discharge lotion in time. He can use a warm towel to apply hot compress on the cat's breasts for ten to fifteen minutes every day, which can relieve the female cat's milk growth.
2. Bacterial infection
If a female cat bites her nipple by a kitten during breastfeeding, causing bacterial infection, and a breast lump will appear. In this case, you can also use a hot compress to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. If the hot compress still does not subside, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, and find out the cause of the disease and treat it in time to avoid delaying the condition.
Note: After the female cat is weaned, the kitten cannot let the kitten eat milk again, because the amount of breast secretion is more related to the stimulation caused by the kitten sucking. Only by completely stopping feeding and not irritating any stimulation to the breast, the breast will slowly shrink and weaning can be successfully completed.
