Breeding and Showing Cats/Mother Cat's teets

Question
My cat had kittens like 2 weeks ago. Something killed them and now my cat's teets are swelling up. Is there something at home I can do or do I have to take her to the vet?
It would be best to have the vet take a look as she could get mastitis which is very painful and can turn to abscesses. He will be able to suggest something to dry the milk up and if he thinks there may be infection he can treat it for her.

Expertise
I can give answers on cat breeding and showing having 'served' over 30 years in this particular field. I head up a Yahoo Group and also a cat club (NBA Cat Club) devoted to educating novices in the correct way to breed, and also show with both GCCF and TICA on a regular basis, and am well versed with the show world, having been involved in the management of the major GCCF Supreme Show in the UK for over 25 years. Genetics however is not my strong point.
