I'm pretty desperate, I am new to this site in general. I hope someone can help me possibly. My 8 month old kitten passed away, sadly enough, but I really am bothered because I don't know what happened, it was sudden, even though I sorta expected it.
Anyways, when my kitty was born he had eye problems (red, puss, swelling, eyes wouldn't open well) so we took him to the vet, they gave us medicine and eye drops and gave him a de-worming shot. He was 3 months old at the time. Time went on and he seemed fine, his eyes didn't have those problems anymore. Well over the past couple of months I noticed my cat always seemed mentally out of it and didn't act like his other brothers and sisters did. He never meowed, and when he did it was very silent. He always seemed very lethargic. I didn't realize this was a problem until after his death (I feel like a failure) that his third eyelids were always sticking out, ALWAYS and his eyes seemed to always look cloudy looking and like they were not fully open. In the last weeks of my kittens life, he did something very strange. He stood on my porch and peed completely still and I clapped my hands and was trying to get his attention and he didn't move, he didn't do anything but just stand there. Well I found him dead laying on his side Wednesday morning in his box with his mouth and eyes wide open with his legs stretched out. Please anyone, if you could tell me what could possibly have been wrong with my cat, you will clear me of so much heart ache I have of constantly worrying and researching.
he was the runt of the litter (there was only 2 others)
he was always wanted to be petted though.
