The kitten will need to be put to sleep, sadly.  I'm sorry to tell you this.  Can you get the poor thing to a vet?

I agree with above.  The usual is to pts them, so shorten their sufferings.

Theoreticaly they could get surgery, but its tricky and the outcome not sure...

So very sorry about this baby. At least she was spared further suffering, and had your love all night.

It's good that mama kitty and the others are doing well!

Oh behalf of the Cat Site Moderating Team, we are sorry for your loss. When a member loses a cat or kitten we lock the thread to show our respect and sympathy. When you feel like it, you might want to post a memorial in our Crossing the Bridge Forum. Also, you might want to start another thread here in this forum about your mother and the remaining kittens.
