Loosing another baby. *Sad Update*

Last edited Sat Jun 7, 2014, 06:20 PM - Edit history (1)

And there is nothing to do. He has "Fading Kitten Syndrome." All tests show he's healthy. He just won't feed. Bottle isn't working, so using a medicine syringe to get him formula. He will not feed off of Mama, separates himself from all the other kittens. The vet gave him two days max, and that was yesterday.
He slept with me last night and this morning my husband tried to put him with Mama this morning, and all he'd do was cuddle. So I'm feeding and making him go potty. I'm going to still try to save him!
Funny thing, away from the litter and Mama, he does better. I'll keep trying the best I can!!!
