I'm sad to say the baby didn't make it to the vet.
I had to take Cagney and the kittens on the bus, as I don't drive.
I put several soft towels in with them, and its about 80 degrees here today, so they were comfy and safe.
The sick baby passed over on the 15 minute trip to the vet, as when I got into the waiting room and checked, she had given up.
I thought this might happen, but had to try and get her the vet just in case something could be done.
My vet said she could find nothing outwardly wrong with her,that these things sometimes just happen. She said she could do a few tests, but that since the other 4 are flourishing (her words) she saw no reason for the expense.
She offered to "dispose" of the kitten, but like a crazy woman I insisted on bringing her home... a mistake as now I keep looking at the little bundle and crying...now what?
Thank you all for your kind words, I know Trooper was only 5 1/2 days old, but this is so hard!
