we took in a momma cat a year or so ago that was starving to death...very pretty white with tortoise shell coloring...she's really sweet...very street smart...seems almost impervious to sickness etc. but a few litters of her kittens...a few from each batch seem to develop stroke like symptoms where their eyes almost cross...very red and droopy...then they start to lose motor functioning...very loud vocalizations...then boom.. they're dead...no signs when they're kittens...very healthy..fed, watered...bathed to keep fleas down etc... just comes on all at once...
no one could be poisoning them most never leave the yard and mainly housecats...no vomiting etc either...thought maybe the last one could be having a cardiac event so as a last ditch effort i tried liquifying some aspirin and using a dropper but i couldn't save it...i'm convinced it's genetic as the momma only has access to one male which is for certain not related to her in any way so there is not inbreeding or whatever the proper term is...guess we're just gonna have her fixed because i can't keep going through this...i'm the type of person who can tolerate human suffering much easier than animal so it really bothers me...thoughts? i apologize in advance if this is the wrong section
