Theyre 7 days old and the mother still hasnt licked them off and they havent fallen off. Should I use a warm washcloth to remove it or let it be?

They usually just dry up and fall off within 2 weeks. I'd just leave them, if you're worried ask your vet. They should fall off soon. Take care;~)

The best thing to do is let it bet...Unless the area around the cords starts to get swollen, red, or gets infected...
It its just red take a gentle washcloth with warm water and soap and clean it alteast 3 times daily...but be VERY gently..
If its swollen, infected and the red doesnt go away take it to your local vet!

Just leave them alone.If you want to hasten their drying up,wipe them with a cotton ball and a little rubbing alcohol once a day.But,they will fall off soon.If you try to pull them off,you could cause great harm to the kittens,as it may cause bleeding,and bacteria could get into the wound and cause an infection.

my kittens cords stayed on them for about 3 weeks, don't panic they will fall off when they need to, at the moment its keeping there little tummy's together so if you pull them off you could cause umbilical hernia

the cords will fall off in time if you take them off you could harm them and that would be mean

Leave then alone, when they're ready to come off they will. If you take them off before they're ready, they could develope infection to that area.
theena, uhhhh, so, do you enjoy that fetish?
