Cats cannot eat ham after giving birth. Ham meat is not easy for cats to digest and can easily cause indigestion and other abnormalities in cats. The salt content in ham is very high, and cats have very low daily salt needs. Overfeeding can easily cause kidney damage in cats. Postpartum cats are recommended to eat special cat food to ensure their body’s nutritional needs.

Precautions for cats after giving birth:

1. After the female cat gives birth, it is recommended that the owner take the female cat to the pet hospital for a B-type ultrasound examination to prevent fetus. During the lactation period, owners need to disinfect the mother cat's nipples every day to prevent the kitten from being infected with bacteria when sucking.

2. The bulging belly of a female cat after giving birth may be because the uterus is still expanding, which makes the cat look very similar to what it looked like before birth. Moreover, the breasts of lactating cats will also swell, which can be mistaken for a bulging belly. The physical condition of the cat can be confirmed mainly through the cat’s mental state, appetite, excretion, etc. In order to determine the cat's physical condition, owners should pay attention to the nutritional supplement of newly born cats.

3. After cats develop inflammation due to tearing of the birth canal, broad-spectrum antibiotics can be used as systemic antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, which can also prevent secondary infections. In some postpartum cats, the source of infection is caused by pollution. Pathogenic microorganisms can enter the uterus through the birth canal, causing endometritis. Mild cases can be controlled with antibiotics, but severe cases require removal of the uterus. In addition, the birth of some cats can induce abdominal transmission, and must be treated by a professional veterinarian at this time.
