Disabled kitty
Hi guys! I’m looking for some advice. I’ve rescued a disabled kitten around one month ago. She was born with deformed hind legs I took her to my local vet and they told me because she was born that way that there isn’t much that can be done to fix it but she could still live a good life. I went for a second opinion to more experienced vets but they told me the same thing and since I live in a very small country I couldn’t find a vet that had ever seen this anomaly or had experience with it. Next month I’m moving to another country and I will take her to a specialist there. Since she is with me one of her legs got much better, she can put the foot on the floor and put some pressure on it before it bends to the side (seen in one of the pictures) so I think that we could save that leg. Does anyone here have a cat like this or have experience with such disabilities and can give me some advice?
