Thank you everyone for the help and advice.... Unfortunately Lilly wasn't strong enough and she passed away today. My heart in so many pieces.... I tried so hard to save her, but no luck.....I only have tulip.

I am so sorry that little Lilly did not make it. You did everything you could to help save her life. Unfortunately, some kittens are born weak or with a disorder, and try as we may, they do not survive. But she had all of your love and caring efforts during her short life, and I'm sure that was a comfort to her. So glad that Tulip is doing well!

[emoji]128542[/emoji] so sorry, it is never easy, even harder when you have done a lot of the fighting for her. At least you can be assured that you did your very best xx

I am so sorry to hear this news, but unfortunately some kittens are just born to die and nothing we can do will save them. This little one was weak from the beginning, and you recognised that and did all you could for her. The important thing is that she knew love and care. Do not beat yourself up - you really did it right and sometimes nothing works. Just love Tulip and find comfort in each other. Usually when a cat has passed, the moderators lock the thread, and ask owners to open a tribute thread in the Crossing the Bridge Forum. But we thought that we would leave this thread open so that you can continue to post in it about Tulip. If you would prefer to open a new thread just for Tulip that is fine and we will close this one. You can of course open a tribute thread for Lilly, whatever you decide.

I took Tulip to the vet today and she weigh 8 Oz, I'm so happy I took her bc now she had the care she needed. I got her medications and now she is on her way to get better. Im still very sad about lilly and discover the truth of what had happened too her but also happy that tulip will be okay. Thank you every one for the support!! I will keep you update about Tulip.

So glad you were able to get Tulip to the vet today! I know that is a relief to have medicine and know that she is well. Did the vet give you an idea of what the problem may have been with Lilly?

They both have had a parasites and eye infection. It was eating Lilly alive and that what happened, the lack of hunger and the skinniness. I miss her a lot though but Tulip need me more than ever.

Parasites, both external and internal, are very dangerous for small kittens and can often kill them. I am so glad you know what the problem is and that Tulip now has the meds she needs to get better.
