From what you say it sounds as though this baby was in trouble and on her
way to dying anyway. When they fail to gain weight and temperature is abnormal
it is not a good sign. I saw a day old baby being warmed and fed and everything
possible was done but she died because she is sick
Hideyo,
Please take a moment to clear your thoughts and ask an AC

nothing to do with her passing. It was her time and I'm sure just a
coincidence that she passed when she did. Set your mind at ease and

There is nothing at this point that will make you
feel better. You are consumed with guilt for unknown reasons.
However, you must focus on Bella and her babies and quiet yourself for
them. Once you have done this, which will take a long time, you may be
able to share why you think you end
Thanks. I had no idea you posted this here. Well, I've just joined this group as well and can offer an update. Esprit did indeed test FeLV+ when retested with the IFA test. I am very surprised. She is so fat, healthy, sleek and well-muscled, and never a sneeze. Nonetheless, the search is now

Hi,
I have a 7 month old Bengal kitten that I purchased from a breeder. She was given to us at 11 weeks. When we took her to the vet for her shots, she came up slightly positive for FeLV. The vet drew her blood before she was vaccinated. The breeder told us that her cats do not have it and sh
Speak to her now in your grief but also speak to
her in a few weeks or months when you are more settled so she can be very open
with you. Your grief will limit what she can say to you right now.
Know this and love her and love yourself for caring so very deeply.
You probably want to wait a few months
(possibly in 6 mos) to re-test her – then, if she is still positive on
ELISA, you might run IFA test to see what happens.

I'm sorry Hideyo. Kittens are just so tiny, and it often happens that at least one won't make it. Like you said, you don't know if what you did caused the kitten to die. You did the best you could. They are so tiny and fragile that it's just a miracle to me when they survive. I used to foster
