Question
My short haired black cats' nipples are a concern to
me.Its her 3rd pregnancy&I never noticed this kind of
thing before but her skin around the nipples has got black
patches.Looks kinda like mold.Should I worry about
this?She is in the last days of her pregnancy.
Hi Shelle
I think it may be crusted milk
Just clean her nipples with warm water and cotton wool
Do not distress her if you can avoid it
If she is in her latter stage of pregnancy then just watch her carefully and help her through the final stages

Expertise
I can answer questions on inbreeding of pedigree cats. Also when to inbreed and when not to inbreed. Also when to consider out crossing cats to help diversify the gene pool. I can also answer questions on how to get the best out of your cat at a show.
Experience
I have bred animals for over 30 years. I am actively engaged on research into FIP and other feline diseases also investigating litter size variation as a consequence of breed.
