HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

Question
Dr,
  My Cat Just had 4 Kittens. Two of them are Normal and the other Two Have "Sleep/Crusties" Around there MOUTHS and it's hard for them to eat! And it' seems like those 2 cats have blood around there EYES and im getting Scared! PLEASE E-MAIL ME ASAP please. Dianne_lafleur@hotmail.com!!!

Answer
If the kittens still have this material blocking their mouth, take a warm moistened washcloth and very gently clean their mouths.  Ideally the mother would clean them and remove any residual in utero substances, however if she has not or is unable in this case your cleaning them may be beneficial.  If you are unable to clean them and the kittens still cannot eat I would check for an emergency clinic in your area as waiting for them to be able to nurse is not safe.

If there is active bleeding from the facial region I would again recommend checking for an emergency clinic.  Kittens do not open their eyes for many more days, so do not be alarmed at that, however if they are actively bleeding this is concerning.

Best of luck to you and the entire litter.
