I had 2 new rescues dropped off tonight, one of very normal looking about 4-5 weeks but probably closer to 4. Very clearly you can see that this wee one is a girl.
The next one I think is a boy but its really hard to tell he has a very tiny urethral opening, like super small, I had to really look to find it. He has no testicles or even any signs of any. Its a totally flat area where his/her bits are.
Also this wee thing has no tail, no stump, nothing, his back just comes to an abrupt end, I cannot even feel any signs of a tail, his spine just ends, his/her other issue is that the back legs are extremely long when he walks they bend right up, he looks like he has the back legs of a rabbit. He cannot lie down but can make himself fallover so he can lay down. The face and everything up to his end look all normal. He is adorable...
he is off to the vet first thing tomorrow morning, but I am wondering if anyone has seen this before? Can cats be born with ambiguous gentalia? What about the lack of tail or stump? Surely this means that he may have an issue with his spine that may show up or affect him later on in his life??
