Title: What to do if the mother cat has swollen breasts after sending off the kittens

Content:

If a mother cat has swollen breasts after sending off her kittens, she can be helped with artificial heat application, massage, and milk expression to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, medications to reduce milk production can be used for treatment.

Heat application and massage:

If the mother cat's milk supply is not too severe, the owner can apply a warm towel to the cat's breasts for 10-20 minutes and gently massage the breasts to alleviate the cat's discomfort.

Milk expression:

If the mother cat continues to have swollen breasts and the owner can feel hardened milk ducts, the owner should help the cat express her milk after applying heat and massage. The expression process should be gentle, and care should be taken to ensure hygiene. The owner's hands, towels, and the surrounding areas of the nipples should be disinfected to prevent infection.

Drug treatment:

If the mother cat's swollen breasts are severe and affect her mental state and appetite, medication should be combined to help the cat reduce milk production and regulate her hormone balance.

Note: In addition to the above measures, the mother cat's daily diet should also be light, avoiding overly oily foods. More vegetables, such as carrots, cabbage, and spinach, should be included in her diet to prevent excessive milk production.
