She said as she typed through bloody bandage-covered stumps...
Well, the cool washcloths didn’t go over well!
I would of suggested a very warm cloth to loosen what’s clogged. Also, I would separate the kittens from mom now....let mom dry out(once unclogged) so that she can get spayed. Kittens need canned and dry kitten food now. And only water....
APPLY CABBAGE LEAVES. I DON’T KNOW WHY, BUT IT IS A PROVEN REMEDY. APPLIED CABBAGE LEAVES WILL FIX HER RIGHT UP IF YOU CAN KEEP THEM ON HER FOR A LITTLE BIT. IF SHE WON’T TOLERATE COLD CABBAGE LEAVES (LIKE THE WASH CLOTHS), WARM THEM A LITTLE, BUT THEY NEED TO BE RAW AND NOT WET. I’M GIVING YOU PEARLS HERE. CABBAGE LEAVES. IT WORKS ON HUMAN MOTHERS, TOO. MIRACULOUS, ACTUALLY. JUST LIKE CUCUMBERS ON PUFFY EYES, ONLY CABBAGE EASES BOTH PAIN AND SWELLING. GOOD LUCK.
Awww, poor thing, sounds like she won’t tolerate the wet.
Try one of those ice bags from the drug store, fill with cool or warm water and alternate. Leave in place a minute or whatever she’ll allow, then work up to 5 mins at a time if you’re able. After she’s used to it, do this every couple hours or so.
A warm or cool wet cloth placed in a baggie would work if you don’t have the store-bought bag, or maybe she would lay on a warm heating pad.
