kitty with abnormal or broken hind legs
December 20, 2007 05:04PM
my cat gave birth to a litter of four kittens. one of them i didnt see it right away, but later tht day i saw that both its hind legs are either broken or just in an abnormal way. the left one is just straight but doesnt move like a normal leg and the other one is like half way of the leg it goes in a different direction and is really hard. but i can still see its toes moving.. she has movement in both legs but it just looks really painfull.. WHAT SHOULD I DO FOR THIS POOR KITTEN???? it is only one day old now... the kitten doesnt have any problem sucking on the nipple.. cause when i go to check i find her sucking.. but if its better to put her to sleep then i guess i should do that. but i need advice on what is better first..

Hi, rexie,

It seems like this kitten has a serious congenital abnormality and I advise that it should be put to sleep ASAP, even though it shows no signs of being in pain. Easier now than later when you will have bonded with it.
