My friend stayed up all night with the kitten under her jumper!
The kitten was very weak the day after so my friend took her back to the vets and he said there was nothing he could do! (I think he is a rubbish vet and won't use him for my animals)

She took the kitten home and continued to nurse her. Unfortunately the kitten died in her arms.

RIP Tilly.

RIP Tilly, sweet dreams little one.
Sometimes there just isn't anything that can be done when they're so little, very sad

Im not sticking up for the vet but perhaps he knew the kitten wouldnt make it. Very distressing for your friend. At least this little one died surrounded by & knowing love xx
