Got up this morning and noticed that one of our six kittens is crying constantly and very cold. It's mouth is hanging open and I can't seem to get him warm. Mama kitty is not paying much attention when she sees this one. She just puts it back in the box with others. I know he is dying..............HELP!!!!

PLEASE get your kitten to the vets as soon as possible before it is too late. Good luck

He died before I could get dressed and take him...........so sad. We have 5 more kittens and I will be watching them very closely. Tried to give him some water and milk, nothing worked. Also tried warming him up. Wish I knew what happened. They all seemed fine yesterday. :{

(kittens 3-6 wks.)Less common, Panleukopenia(distempter)is a cause of death.It carries the loss of appetite and cold symptons.More likely is infectious diseases.Toxoplasmosis(parasitic),Bordetella((bacterial)and there are other"viral"types also.Some transmitted from mother.(source:www.vetinfo.com,then search,sudden death)I suggest matching symptoms to a cause and use the vet as your 2nd opinion.(in "preventitive" cases only)
