My cat's month-old kittens are dying. How can I help them survive?

Question

My momma cat had her 3rd litter of kittens. They are a month old. She had 6 babies and all of them have died but 2 and im about to loose one of them. I have tried warm milk in a dropper and its not working. What can i do. We have not had any problems with the other litters.

This is very unfortunate, I'm sorry to hear your momma cat has lost her kittens. I would suspect that there was something affecting the mother that infected the kittens in utero. There is probably not much you can do to save the 2 remaining kittens at this point. You may want to consider taking them to the vet to be checked out and see if it is something treatable. At home just continue doing your best by supplementing their feedings if necessary, stimulating them to potty if the momma is not, and keep them warm and dry. I hope this helps. Best of luck with the remaining kittens. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
