Yesterday, after rushing Bitey to the AWL vet clinic, we took the other three down there for a check-up and the staff at the clinic kept them there most of the day. They were concerned about Red's health so kept him for observation, and Dora and Cheeky returned home to us last night. Bitey was showing signs of improvement by yesterday afternoon.
Unfortunately by this afternoon both Bitey and Red had died. We (and the vet clinic staff) are at a loss to explain why this happened. Dora and Cheeky are well and thriving and were earlier enjoying some quality time with us on the couch watching a DVD. Although we've had a dozen or so foster kittens before, this is the first death we've had and with two deaths occurring on the same day and without much in the way of warning, we are both quite upset. There may or may not be further updates for the next few days.
