I'm so sad... We tried feeding the little guy with bottles, droppers, syringe but I guess it didn't help. He was loosing weight over the last 2 days.
Last night, I helped him latch on to momma nipple and kept my hand there as a barrier so the other kittens couldn't muscle their way in. He was so much smaller that the others, he would get pushed away and then take forever to find another nipple. He would suckle a bit then stop, either too weak or asleep so I'd nudge him or stroke him and he'd start suckling again. That's how I left him last night at midnight, cuddled up with him momma.
Sometime in the early morning, LuLu passed away. He was one week old today.
He will get a proper burial today in our yard beside our hamster Critter.
Godspeed little one...
