My cat just had kittens, has a nipple scab, and is acting sick.

Question

Hi! We noticed an ulcer looking scab near one of our cats nippels. She just had kittens about a week ago and she doesn't want to eat anymore. She's not her normal playful self anymore and looks pretty thin now. We don't know how she got the wound or if the wound is making her act so strangely. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 6 lbs

This is a medical emergency, it looks like Mimi has a severe infection (mastitis) in the milk glands and needs urgent treatment by your vet. If very weak and dehydrated she may need intravenous fluids and antibiotics to stabilise her condition
