Related: About this forumSorry for the delay on updating about Sian
I was at the vet's for almost 3 hours.
I have to edit what I posted. Sweet Sian just crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I'm shocked beyond words and crushed to the core of my soul.

(96,278 posts)I just read your previous post! I have never heard of this illness before and I am terrified by the severity of it. At least Sian is bigger and has more to fight it with. I am so sorry to hear about this!
Geeze!

(108,947 posts)On edit, I was just told flea anemia. Damned fleas are just vicious to young kittens and other small animals--but even adult dogs can die. Only behind mosquitoes and ticks--in the worldwide harm to people and animals.

(278 posts)I have followed your posts for years. My daughter was part of a cat rescue group and many litters camped out at our house before being placed in forever homes. Quite a few stayed on as members of our family. I am praying for you both and would contribute what I can to her medical care if finances are an issue.

I feel like I know all of you from reading your posts about the cats.
May her sweet little soul rest in peace. Take care of yourself…..

Do you need financial help getting your vet's recommended flea treatment for your other cats?

(9,817 posts)I lost a kitten to flea anemia years ago. He’d gotten flea treatments but the damage was done. Vet said it changes their platelets and when it’s bad there’s nothing they can do. Prayers and hugs to you.

(204 posts)You tried so hard to save her from that. She knew it, too, that's why she stopped hiding and came to your lap.
Hugging you from here, Siwsan
