If things go wrong they always do it all together, its a test I think to see if we are strong enough to cope.

This may sound weird, but to help with the mastitis try a cabbage leave, you will have to find some way of bandaging on, but its supposed to work. They recommend it for human Mums as well, a leave in the bra works wonders. Is it just one or more teats that are affected. If its just one, are you sure all her milk has disappeared completely ? If not if you can get the kittens to keep sucking that may help, but not from the infected teat(s).

Your other girl sounds fine in herself. If you haven't noticed a discharge it may well be reducing. No news is good news on that front.

All your babies sound like they are doing well too, so its not all bad luck, you have those to keep you going.
