What if a cat’s milk dries up and is left untreated?

If the kittens can already wean, the mother will gradually dry up and needs no intervention. But if they are too young, early drying denies them nutrition and requires pet goat-milk formula feeding. Abnormal drying may relate to mastitis, hyperplasia, or blockage; if you see pain, redness, hard lumps, or fever, see a vet to avoid worsening.
