Sometimes things happen for a reason or at least i want to believe that although i think that not always they make sense or justice... They are just not meant to be...
Our beautiful Stratocaster, the white princess, had to be urgently neutered yesterday after giving birth to 5 beautiful kittens 2 weeks ago.
Everything was going normal, with Strato and her kittens.
She was eating and drinking well, doing her needs, feeding the kittens all the time and always with a nice and happy look in her expression that never made us think that something was wrong...
Saturday evening, she and the kittens were doing very well without any apparently reason to worry about...
Yesterday morning (Sunday), when we went to her room to see how the kittens were, like we do every morning and many times during the day/evening, we saw Strato alone in a corner of the room very sad and ill.
We took her temperature and she was 40,5 :( We took her immeadiatelly to the vet to find out what was going on.
After an eco, the vet discovered a 6th kitten in her uterus in an advanced stage of decomposition :( She was operated immeadiatelly!
The entire uterus was already rotten and the infection had spread to other organs...
A few hours after the surgery, she came home to rest next to us and with especific indications from the vet concerning the medication (antibiotics and pain killers).
Today she was no better... She didn't eat or drink or did her needs... Her chest was getting dark purple, an indication that the infection is strong and that is taking over her body :(
Stratocaster was hospitalized again today until she gets better and we are trying to keep positive... But we are afraid :(
This was her second and last litter... and we had so many plans for her still...
Her kittens are now being fed by our sweet and caring Katie that was also a mother 5 weeks ago.
Super Kat!!! We are so proud of her... Without her, it would be difficult for us and the kittens.
We just hope now that Strato gets better soon and comes home again to us and her babies ♥
We love you very much Strato!
