It is not stupid to feel upset when a kitten you have been caring for is faltering. It's sad. You did your best. That's all anyone can do.

Just hold him and comfort him.

There IS a click when he breathes. It started this evening. The vet opens at 730 and I'll be there waiting. I feed him with an eye dropper. He can usually suck on it and control the flow
Such a click is common when they begin to have pneumonia.  But we had also forumites where the click was apparently innocent, as the kittens continued to thrive without visible problems.   As I remember, the forumist didnt run to the vet to get antibiotics.   As antibiotics given early is the only which may save a pneumonia kitten.  Often they go downhill and pass away literally in hours.  There may be a number of reasons.  But them happening to get fluid into lungs is quite common...

Im deep sorry for your kitten.  If you clearly see the end is nearing, its just to comfort and wait.   Sing softly...Pray if you wish.

iamoph, we are all so very sorry for your loss.
 

You really did do your best and the little one is at rest.

We will lock this thread now, of respect, but please do start a memorial thread in our Crossing the Bridge forum if you feel that is right for you.
