out of nowhere?
:( :(
Birth defects, undetected illness, injury?
Many things can cause a young kitten to die. Such as upper respiratory infections, genetic defects, dehydration, fleas and distemper. :(
Thanks.
I was just informed by one of the daughters that the kittens ribs were broken and it died last night. Wouldn't you put a stop to it's pain? Bring it to a vet?
Is it just me or isn't that animal neglect????
This guy I know has a female who gave birth to 5 kittens last year. For the first 2 weeks they were doing fine. Then in the 3rd week, they all died within that week. Two of them on Monday, one on Wednesday and the last two on Friday. It was the saddest thing. The vet said that it sounded like cat distemper and there was nothing that could have been done.
Maybe this was the same thing that happened to the 4 week old kittens.
I'm sorry. Rest in Peace little ones. :(
Whoa!!!! First off, how does your friend know that the kittens ribs were broken and secondly, did she say how this could have happened????
Was this just one kitten that died, or was there more, as you stated "kittens."
No clue. She said that the kittens ribs were indented. I do know that they have five dogs in the house, and the black lab killed TWO kittens prior to this incident.Quote:

Poor little kittens. :(Quote:

She won't take them anywhere, but to her new place out in the country. The cats will be outside.

Thats very sad that these Kittens have passed on before they really got a chance to experience and enjoy life.
Proper Cat Care and Spaying would have prevented these needless deaths.
These Kitten are Now Eternal Kittens and now are with the Pet Angel Army.
These was no need for this to happen.
Then being outside is almost a worse fate than they being unsupervised with the lab. There are far worse predators outside than dogs. I certainly hope she is getting them spayed and neutered, especially the mother, so she does not have this problem again!Quote:
