    Oh Danielle, sending all good vibes your way. Get to an emergency vet ASAP. TDK is here for you. (((Hugs)))

    If you possibly can do what Emily L said in the post above. If it’s fading kitten syndrome, this may certainly help. I have lost kittens like you more times than I care to count. I hope this doesn’t sound cruel, but when they pass I don’t believe they are in pain, at least mine didn’t act like they were. They just simply faded away. This may help if you are worried about the cost of euthanizing. I am so sorry you are going thru this, I know how agonizing and horrifying it is. Also, if you have access to pedialyte or someone can get you some, you could syringe some down their throats by putting in by their cheek and letting it trickle into their tummies. It gives them needed electrolytes and hydration. If it’s more than that (some kind of virus or disease) it may help also, but the vet checked your kitten, but she was also too young for vaccinations yet. Let us know how you are doing, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Please Danielle, get this kit to emergency vet ASAP! Perhaps shelter or group you are fostering kits for can help with costs? Or vet can help out for now on Good Samaritan basis. Don’t know if you are in US, believe Joan mentioned it in previous thread. Or perhaps vet can let you defer payment for kit’s care. Hope that something workable is possible. This must be horrifying for you. Please keep us updated.

    Update!!!! I am QUITE convinced that what was ailing my babies was that Hartz KMR!!!!! After feeding the PetAg KMR last night they were still acting strangely, and I was a MESS 🙁 although they are all my favorites, my MOST favorite, Ursa, was in the same state as the other baby I took to the vet yesterday afternoon. I just held her close, and talked to her, then I wrapped her in the shirt Id been wearing all day, nestled her in a warm towel, and put her into the cat carrier in the same room her sisters are in. I went to bed, thinking the worst. My husband came in at 5:30am, and said they were ALL meowing. Loudly. Hungry kitty cries!!!!! I leapt out of bed and ran to their room! ALL OF THEM WERE THEMSELVES AGAIN!!!!! EVEN URSA!!!!! I warmed the new KMR, they sucked it down, purring loudly, used the potty, BOTH pee & poo, and were playing with each other and snuggling me!!!!! I am so so happy!!!!! I dont know what it was, but I hope it doesnt happen again. Oh how I love all my furbabies so! 🙂 <3
