Himalayan cat milk enlargement method:

1. Express milk, apply a hot towel to the Himalayan cat’s breasts, and massage gently until the breasts become soft and slightly red. The pet owner then gently squeezes the cat's milk out with his hands.

2. Find the kitten that is drinking milk, which can quickly solve the problem of the mother cat’s milk engorgement.

3. The kitten has been weaned. If the female cat has breast enlargement, the owner can take the female cat to the pet hospital for check-up and feed her some drugs to help restore milk production, such as megestrol (yellow sugar-coated tablets) , Rukuaixiao (large red sugar-coated tablets) and anti-inflammatory injections (Baili).

Precautions for milking Himalayan cats:

1. First use a towel to heat the breasts and massage them gently. Wait until the breasts become soft and red before squeezing. When squeezing milk from the back of the breast to the front, don't just squeeze the nipple. It may be painful at the beginning and the cat's reaction will be greater. After the milk is expressed, the pain will lessen and the cat's reaction will be smaller.

2. It is best to have someone to assist you when milking. One is to catch the cat, and the other is to apply hot compress with a towel in time. Try to squeeze as much as possible at one time, it will be done quickly. After expressing milk, wipe it again with a hot towel.

3. After milking is completed, apply erythromycin ointment on the female cat’s nipples to seal the nipples and reduce inflammation.

4. Pay attention to whether there are signs of inflammation in the cat's breasts. If there is inflammation, you should go to the pet hospital immediately.
