Ok, my cat had 5 kittens, they were all fine until a kitten died on Wednesday, and then, we thought the others were great, until .. Yesterday, another kitten died, then today, one kitten died in the morning and one in the after noon. One is left ... but it may go the same way. What I noticed that the kittens would become more faint, and stop moving around so much and then become cold and they wouldn't feed . The last one needs to survive but it may go the same way ! Any advice for my last kitten ?
Answers:
I think there must have been something genetically wrong with the litter, I don't know how to help, sorry.
You really should see a vet with the mom and last kitten. There can be many reasons this happens, from the mom not purducing enough milk,mom has an infection,mom has FeLV...you need to seek help or the last one will probably die. In any case, after all is said and done...SPAY THE MOM so this does not happen again!!!
Is your momma cat feeding them? Usually they are excellent mothers. I have noticed that sometimes one kitten will be isolated and not fed, and it dies pretty soon. I thought that was the momma knowing one was weaker and going to die, and helping it happen naturally. But you have one dying after another - have you been using anything to prevent fleas which might be bad for tiny kitties? I'm just guessing. The last one might respond to extra feeding with milk - our supermarket keeps a milk for kittens - but they have tiny tummies, so little and often.
Your vet may have some idea why they are dying.
Good luck !!
Take your kitty to the vet ASAP and explain the problem. There are many reasons this could be happening, and a professional would be able to help better than anyone here in Answers. Although it is Saturday, most communities have at least one vet, sometimes several, that have night and weekend hours.
If you have a waer bottle fill it with warm water and put it under a blanket, then put the kitten by it. Use a couple of them, and refill when they get cold. Good Luck! Or use a heating pad. Make sure you dont get her to cold!
Take her to the vet to make sure if she is fine.
