:alright:Condolences on your loss, Nefzaoui, at that age, it is difficult to know what is going on with babies. This past year, I adopted a pregnant cat who had 6 beauties. The runt of the litter lived a week and then developed breathing problems and died. The vet thought his lungs were underdeveloped. A couple of weeks later, a second kitten began mouth-breathing and as a last ditch effort, was given Biomoxx. He did pull through and is the largest cat in the litter. He often has wheezing but the vet says it is in his throat not his lungs and his oxygen saturation is fine so she does not treat him.
Please know that when they are tiny like that, it is often truly between them and God. If you look at www.kitten-rescue.com, you can see for yourself that even the most experienced cat rescuers often lose the tinies - they are so fragile. Please know that your little guy, in his too short life, knew love and kindness; though his journey was short, the love that you shared with him will last forever. He is once again with the ancestors and those yet to be born, free of earthly suffering - gone ahead to the place we all someday go.
