Nina, I do have URI in my house, but this kitten did not die of URI. Only one of the 4 I have lost did. One dropped dead for no apparent reason, 1 died of complications from AIHA, this little one died because she was just too small. I read online that kittens who are born at weight less than 3.4 oz have a bad survival rate - this one was 4 oz at 22 days.
Don't worry - I am not taking any more in. I haven't since last week and am not until I can get my numbers under control. On 5/1/07, Nina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Oh Kelley, you were just looking for "compassion fatigue" support and now you lose another little soul. You must feel like you've been tossed about the rocks. You mentioned something about sickness in your house, is that just a supposition because you are losing so many, or do you know something for a fact? Have you stopped taking in fosters? You might want to consider that, anyway. You need time to heal and regroup. It's true that we can't help anyone else if we don't take care of ourself first. If you nurture and love yourself half as much as you do your fur friends, it will be enough. My heartfelt condolences Kelly. Never for a moment allow yourself to think that you are doing the wrong thing in engaging in rescue. You might need to step back and not do as much, but it is never wrong to reach out and help. Gather your support group around you, human and furred alike. Your cyber family is here for you too. Sending love, light and strength, Nina Kelley Saveika wrote: > Died at the vet today, where I had been taking her to be fed when I > was at work. > She was 4 oz as of yesterday.
