Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The symptoms of mastitis are enlarged, swollen, hot and painful mammary gland. The gland may be discharging normal milk but it may be yellow/green puss. Most of the cats with mastitis have fever and are very lethargic. They may vomit and reject the kittens. If Ayesha does have mastitis, she will need a course of antibiotics and painkillers to get better.
