I have a mama cat and recently gave her kittens away at 9 weeks old. The mama cat is very sore and moving slowly. Looks I’m like her nipples are very swollen. What can I do to help her not hurt and maybe dry up her milk

I’m concerned Ma Socks could have mastitis, which is an infection of the mammary glands. Mastitis is extremely serious and fatal without treatment. Unfortunately this cannot be treated at home and you have to take her into a vet immediately. Please take her into an ER vet now. Best of luck.
