My cat has a pink nostril growth after kittens. Should I see a vet?

Question

I have a female tortie cat that had a litter of kittens yesterday, 2 days ago I noticed her rubbing her nose, she does this sometimes and I thought nothing of it, this morning I woke up and saw she has a massive fleshy pink growth protruding from her nostril, her behavior is umchanged, she's nursimg, eating and drinking as normal, no noticible breathing difficulties, I'm not sure what this is but am hesitant about taking her in to have it looked at and leave her kittens alone. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

Hello! It does sounds like Laz either has a growth or something growing from her nasal passage. It sounds like something that should be evaluated by a vet either way. I would just take the kittens along with, just make sure they are warm and have mom to nurse during the trip. Alternately see if there is a mobile vet in your area who can come to you.
