In reply to the discussion: I have such sad news to share. Tudor just passed away. [View all]pazzyanne
(6,601 posts)57. That was my thought also.
I've lost an occasional kitten to "fading kitten" syndrome, a couple from my house cats and 4 more feral rescue kittens. My dear, Siwsan, as sad as these deaths are, nothing can be done about them. The term given to kittens dying between birth and when theyre weaned is fading kittens. Hypothermia Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and Dehydration are common causes, especially with feral kitties. You were doing the right things, but they don't always work. My heart goes out to you, but the final care you gave Tudor was all you could do in this case.
Safe crossing of the Rainbow Bridge, Baby Tudor. You were loved while you were here.
