RIP Bilbo

Petted the cats and the flea med is working. No fleas or flea dirt in the fur. Though worried about Bilbo. I think fleas have weakened him. Misty acts normal, but Bilbo acts slow and not eating much. I squirted water in his mouth and petted him until he started drinking water on his own. He drank a half bowl of water. But he won't eat. Maybe he will start feeling better without the fleas and eat normal again.

RIP Bilbo. He was grew anemic from his fleas as his sister Misty got better. I petted him thinking his fleas were better and noticed he felt cold. Checked his gums and couldn't tell the difference between teeth and gums. I put him on my lap to warm him up. Then decided to give a flea bath. He jumped out and collapsed in the hallway. I put him in the tub again to finish rinsing the soap off. The water turned red with blood. His nose went in the water and saw bubbles. Held his head up and finally gave up. Dried him off and he meowed. There was a bunch of fleas on his chest his white fur turned pink. Call sister cause I can't afford a vet and maybe wait until tomorrow to see if he gets better. She said take him now. Went to emergency vet at midnight. He was not moving when pulled out the carrier and pulled him out of the carrier screaming "Give me a sign of life" and blew in his nose. Vet said he was already dead. At least I gave him pets before he died. Anemia or breathing in water, I don't know, but he is gone. I opened bag they put him in and fleas were jumping out of his fur.

In 2 months my Bilbo would have turned 6 years old. He was just a baby.
