How to treat mastitis in Pomera cats? Postpartum female cats often become infected due to bites and abrasions on their nipples when breastfeeding their kittens, leading to mastitis.

This disease often causes problems such as difficulty in the discharge of milk in female cats, and may also lead to poor mental health and high body temperature in cats, so they must be treated in time.

Mastitis treatment methods

Qualified veterinary hospitals should use breast milk for drug sensitivity testing and select highly sensitive drugs for treatment.

1. You can choose penicillin 60,000 units/kg body weight and streptomycin 50,000 units/kg body weight, mixed intramuscular injection, 2 times/day, for 5 to 7 days. Broad-spectrum antibiotics can also be used for treatment, such as gentamicin, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, etc.

2. Those with systemic symptoms can be given sugar, alkali and fluid replenishment. For acute inflammatory mastitis, ice packs can be used for cold compresses; for chronic inflammatory mastitis, 25% magnesium sulfate solution and towels can be used for hot compresses. Infrared rays or IDP (specific electromagnetic wave therapy device) can also be used to irradiate the affected area.

3. Circular sealing can be done at the base of the breast, 1-2 times a day, and combined with systemic antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment

4. For severe cases of breast hyperplasia, mastectomy and ovary removal can be performed.
