Yah the same thing happened to me. I took the first 2 babies in and they said it was best to put them down. No tube feeding nothing...just put them down and don't plan on the others to live when they arrived. I sometimes wish vets were a little more caring.Originally Posted by IloveSiamese
I lost both my babies!!!!!!!! I took them both to the vet and they said her prognosis was poor and that she was suffering and that it would be best if I put her down. I found out my little girls were not girls, but little boys. HMmM I thought I could tell the diff. So I agreed to put Hitomi down because I didn't want her to suffer anymore. I have never agreed to putting animals down and I feel sorta dirty now. My heart is completely broken.
RIP YUKI AND HITOMI
You shouldn't be angry with yourself, there must not have been any more you could do. You took them the the vets when you noticed they had colds, you tried supplementing, you tried to confine them and keep them warm. You did every thing you could. Don't feel bad about your decision you made either. It is our job as owners to protect and care for our beloved pets, even if it's is helping them to get out of their suffering little bodies, after all the love and companionship they have given it's the humane thing to do for them. It is hard to see them go but, it's harder to watch them suffer.Originally Posted by IloveSiamese
I'm so upset I can't even think straight. I feel angry towards Yen for not helping me try to save these babies and I'm also angry with my self for not doing more.
I don't know to be honest. I think she rejected them long ago , like last weekend and they only made it as long as they did because I was trying to save them, but I couldn't afford to have the bodies cremated(pardon my spelling) and buy and urn and such. They were cremated but the vet kept them and they do what ever they do with dead kittens. That was the hardest part. I feel like I didn't get closure because they rushed them off as soon as I got there and that was the last I saw of them.Originally Posted by SolarityBengals
I did the same. I think I slept about 12 hours Saturday night when I finally crashed. Meeka won't leave my side. She's not a lap cat but she has to be sleeping with me or on me. This morning was the first time I heard my cat crying when I left for work. She's still nesting and everything, just don't think she knows whats going on.
I wonder why you did not get to say goodbye. Was that your choose.Originally Posted by IloveSiamese

Today was a hard day. I kept thinking of them. Sometimes I think I have a stronger connection with animals then I do people.
I'm so sorry....one thing you may want to do (when you have mom spayed) is to ask your local humane society about fostering a mom with young kittens. You would make an awesome foster mom.Originally Posted by IloveSiamese

I agree there needs to be more animal lovers like you.Originally Posted by TNR1
