My kitten was about 8 months old. He had a severe skin problem since birth, which was non-infectious. We didn't think he would survive back then, but he was doing good those few months after birth. About a month ago, his health was deteriorating. His skin was peeling off, he looked emaciated, he had problem walking, his eyes too appeared unwell. We took him to the vet. He was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency and he also had worms. We followed the vet's directions properly. He even appeared to be improving. But, about two days ago, he looked the worst. He wouldn't eat, we had to force feed him. His eyes were ghostly, like he got blind, his lens weren't visible, it was covered by a white membrane (it seemed), he was all skin and bones, cold and could only drag his legs. Today morning, he simply lay on his bed, wouldn't come for breakfast, and by noon, he rose on his own, and walked to the backyard all alone, and he was lying there. At first we thought he was dead. There were flies and ants around him, then we picked him up and fed him some milk with a dropper. After that he kept shifting on his back. He couldn't even rise on his own, so he kept falling back. So we picked him up and held him erect so he doesn't choke, held his mouth open. But he simply died, in our arms... We kept rubbing him till his body froze....
