Our Gingerboy kitten very ill and mouth open breathing.. Part 2

Update: Our Gingerboy passed away on 16/05/2010 @ 1120am. We had used a salbutamol asthma inhaler to provide him some breathing relief but at the end, he could hold on no longer and died right before my eyes on the cushion where I was tending & caring for him... :'( We tried to resucitate him but to no avail. The day before we had brought him to a vet but because he was only a few months old, he will not survive surgery. and the vet MANHANDLED him as well so cos of this, this was the price to pay, that took Gingerboy before his time..

R.I.P. Our beloved Gingerboy, you will always be our beloved son. ~ 18/03/10 - 16/05/10

Ginger, our pride and joy.. The first who ate dry kibbles all by himself, the first to use the litterpan all by himself, the first who taught his siblings how to play and he was always the strongest Badboy of the lot..

Never did we know that he would fall so ill.. Took him to the vet and cos he is too young, he cannot undergo surgery cos he will not survive it, if operated on..:( so right now all we can do is make him comfortable and be with him, keep him lucid.. he cannot breathe in enough oxygen and his lips have paled down to a bluish-white color..

And now, it could be his last moments..

He is not doing so well.. The vet couldnt even diagnose what is wrong with him..

If anyone knows the problem with ginger, do share.. dont let your kittens end up like ours.. Helpless and nothing else we can do..

So lets hope and pray that Ginger gets well..

Oh God, how is he? I am just now seeing your second video. I really am hoping the little guy pulled through. If any creatures deserve to be here, it is babies like this!

@PhasmataJ Our Gingerboy passed away on 16/05/2010 @ 1120am. He passed away before his time and to this day we do not know what condition he was suffering from. Hence I post this video up in order to gain more knowledge on what could be that plagued gingerboy to his death. Anyone who has a similar experience with their own pets like this and know what condition that led to this, pls, do share.

"he kept going to the humid dark toilet."

So that he could breathe easier and have some peace and quiet? Your petting might have accelerated his end. Cats who have difficulty breathing need absolute peace and quiet. Especially if the vet can't do anything.

@sixthbanevideos It is hard to look at the video isn't it? I know it is. I'm so sorry Gingerboy passed away. I really am. We've had countless kittens at our home go missing. We suspect owls in the surrounding woods. It is heart breaking to see how cruel mother nature can be. Again, my sympathies sincerely. He deserved a long life.

There are so many conditions that could have caused his labored breathing. If I see something, I will post what I find.
