I was checking the litters over, and found one black tan baby (2weeks old) lying not moving under it's siblings. I lifted it out, and it was breathing. Not moving, but it's breathing was very laboured. I didn't know how long it had been like that, the last time i check them was yesterday evening. I held it and watched it for about half an hour, and it didn't move once...except the occasional breath.
I didn't want it to suffer any more, so i culled it. I feel really upset as this is the first one i've had like this and the first time i have culled anything (other than a fish which was beyond correcting). My fiance has just had to deal with me in tears. I feel really ****.
I don't know if anyone will agree that i made the right decision for this little one. It showed no signs of fighting for life, it's limbs never moved...and i just didn't want it to suffer any longer.
