Should I remove dying kitty?

Asked by jamielynn2328 (4737points) July 9th, 2009

My cat had a litter of 4 nine days ago. There was an obvious runt and today the runt started straying from the other group of kittens. I looked it up and found that kittens sometimes experience fading kitten syndrome. She is tiny and I was afraid this would happen. I just don’t know what to do now. The baby is not dead yet, she is crying, which is distracting the momma. My cat Lucy, the mom, keeps going to the kitten and trying to lick it’s mouth and help it. Should I remove the kitten? Will that cause the mom more distress?
