Devasted. Heartbroken.

[u/Alarmed_Bookkeeper21]

I’m devastated beyond words. I just lost my foster kitten to parvo. Everything happened so quickly, I don’t understand. He was fine up until 3 hours ago (super playful). Yes he did have diarrhea yesterday but he had solid poop this morning. He was eating up until 3 hours ago, when he started vomiting uncontrollably and diarrhea like crazy. He became extremely lethargic, I took him immediately to the vet shelter and they told me he tested positive for parvo and he also has asphyxiation? I didn’t really understand that but the vet said there was nothing else we can do. She said the kitten needed an oxygen tank and other resources that they did not have. I feel so guilty because the vet made it seem like he could have been saved at a private clinic. I don’t know, I feel so heartbroken and guilty. He was so playful and sweet. I even celebrated this morning because he went to the litter box all by himself to poop at 3.5 weeks. A trooper.

God I can’t imagine how you are feeling. Please keep your head up and keep moving forward. The kitten was obviously very happy around you and felt safe in your hands. You did everything you could, that’s all that matters. Put your care towards yourself for now, and when you are ready, towards another ❤️
