I really was hoping that I would never have to post again on the rainbow bridge part but I guess I do.
I took in two 4 week old kittens to foster three weeks ago.
Clyde was the sweetest kitten I had met. Out of the two he was the more lethargic. He didnt like to play, and laid around most of the time. I assumed it was just his personality. He was one of those kittens who will stand in front of the bathroom and wait for me to get done taking a shower. He was always cuddled up on me or next to me. I met the lady from the org I was fostering them for on Friday so she could give them meds. She noticed both of their gums were a little pale but said they should be okay till I finish giving them the medicine she had given me.
Last night I came home and Clyde was laying on the couch. I picked him up and his head just sort of fell back. I tried to make him stand up, but his legs went out from under him. I called a girl from the org I was fostering them for and she told me to bring him to her house and she would see what she could do. I put him in my lap in the car. I kept a hand on his stomach to make sure he was still breathing. He meowed a couple times then drew his last breath. I called the lady to tell her he had died and she told me I should still come over. I took him over there and she said she would bury him in her flower garden where her foster who passed is. He was always smaller and not as playful as his sister. She has an appointment tomorrow with the vet because her gums are also pale.
I had decided I would either keep Clyde or he HAD to go to a home with his sister....Now he doesnt get a home...
His sister seems to be comforting me, she was never much of a cuddler but is in my lap as I type this. I get sad every time I look at her....
Run free sweet kitten. You were very much loved and I wish I had realized sooner that you wernt feeling good.
And please send good vibes this way for Bonnie. I really dont think I could take it if she didnt make it
They said it could be something serious called blood parasites....I am really hoping it isnt because I have already been told there isnt a good chance of her making it if it is.
