How to care for a female cat after giving birth

The post-natal care of a female cat includes: Firstly, pay attention to warmth as well as nutritional supplements. The mother cat’s living facilities are placed not far from the cat’s den to facilitate her daily activities. Secondly, in the 3-17 days after delivery, the mother cat is most likely to have low blood calcium, with specific symptoms such as vomiting, panting, stiff gait and trembling and spasms, etc. Once abnormalities are found, seek medical attention. Thirdly, blood or pus-like discharge from the nipples or pubic area should also be seen by a doctor immediately. Fourth, pay attention to the discharge of the cat’s malodour. If the malodour is never discharged, take the cat to the vet in time to avoid the accumulation of malodour in the uterus causing uterine inflammation and uterine pus accumulation. Fifthly, the nipples of female cats need to be cleaned frequently and the dried milk stains wiped away to prevent bacterial growth.
