Fading Kitten Syndrome

Fading Kitten Syndrome is a disease that is believed to be transmitted to the kittens as they pass through the birth canal. After birth all will initially appear fine. The mother is healthy and the kittens are nursing. Then within the next week or two, one or more kittens die. If this disease doesn’t appear until the kittens are of at least three weeks old, it won’t be fatal.

The symptoms of Fading Kitten Syndrome disease include: a yellowish diarrhea, excessive crying, vomiting, refusal to eat, and difficulty breathing. If any of these symptoms appear contact your veterinarian immediately, due to the fact that treatment depends on the age of the kittens and the severity of the symptoms.
