Yesterday the kittens where exactly 2 weeks old. The 3 remaining kittens had grown well and everything seemed to be just purfect
last week kitten Hera died at exactly 7 days old.....she was behind in growth so it was expected but it is never fun.
yesterday morning the kittens are exactly 2 weeks old.....
When I put them on the scale I noticed Hannibal's neck was dangling weirdly and he cramped up his legs in a very weird way. He lost a lot of weight in 1 night, and seemed to be in pain. I tried bottle feeding him, and after the feed he was purring and sleeping satisfied in the palms of my hands....The next 2 hours I left him in mommy's care to keep him warm and when I wanted to pick him out of the cage for his next feed I saw he was dead even before touching him.....
He had a broken neck......something that happens rarely
Now Sissel has 2 kittens left, and to be honest I'm terrified what will happen on their 3 weeks anniversairy, I'm so so sad....
I've burried the little boy in the garden, i'm so heartbroken over this, I didnt sleep at all I was to scared some other tragedy would happen....

How he broke his neck is a mystery to me, the dogs, other cats and the kids can not reach the kittens. They are in a special birth cage with a lock and all on it to keep mommy in and all others out....
