mother cat and her nipple!!!

[jenny_girl]

hello my cat had kittens about 6 weeks ago. one of the mothers teets looks and feels really nasty, it is all dried up and flat, thick and yellow looking, there is a big lump under the ***. it looks very painful for this cat. [it reminds you of an older adult that has really thick yellow toe nails; thats what it looks like. ]  If you have any more ideas than my, plz let my know.!!!

thank you very much,

I agree with April. Your cat needs to see a vet right away. This condition is painful for her.

Good Luck.

It sounds like she's blocked with milk, which could get very painful for her. I'd take her to the vet but in the meantime try holding a warm, moist compress against the blocked teet and see if that can give her some relief.
Hope she gets better fast! Best wishes.

Hi, I think you need to see a vet with her asap,

I had a similar problem when 1 of my old Cats after she had Kittens many years back, Turned out to be an infection, Mastitis, & she needed antibiotics.

hope shes better soon
