Question
i found this cat in the streets her nipples are full of milk i didn't find her kittens i let her outside she came back her nipples are extra full now and her veins are starting to show in them what should i do to help her dry up i tried the hot compress and pulling her nipples at the base but it didn't work it just hurt her and made her nipples look fuller please help me

Answer
Hi Veronica,

You have to let her back out. She has kittens that need her. When you let her out watch where she goes. She will lead you to the kittens if you stay back a little. You can decide what you want to do then. You can feed her kitten food so she gets the extra nutrition she needs for nursing kittens. Good luck and let me know what happens.

Ciao, Karen
