I'm so sorry that happened. :/ I agree with handsome kitty check the shelter or rescue maybe you can foster some kittens it might help with the loss of your little ones.

I agree with both posters to you.Often babes are found 1 or a few days old that are being bottle feed.Hard work.Call around.Pls spay your girl asap as she will go into heat again & the overpopulation is huge!! Kittens having kittens.I'm sorry for your loss.C.

Yes, such happens.  That is one of the reasons its important to look see the kittens every day, and pluck off any fleas you see.

You can even bathe them if  necessary , be careful and have enough with wise precautions so they wont get chilled.

But there is the myth small kittens shouldnt be touched by a human - "mom may abandon it".  it may be true for rabbits, but not cats!.

Anyway, this is the cause why we now and then hear about  kittens whom got anemia, and even died, because of fleas, although they were owned.

Of course, if they dont were heavy fleas infested, it could be a number of other causes.  Such happens too.

I agree on the fostering project. If the  mom isnt a bad mom, its the solution for everyone.  But you must first solve the fleas problem, if there is one.

Ps.  Advantage II is renown to be effective and  not dangerous for high pregs and moms.
