right a little background on this as its only been on the PC/PK fourm.
fluffy had kittens (a hole another story) she had a few problems with the birth with the plencters getting stuck so she couldnt get to the kittens to clean them up then she just didnt bother which is where i steped in.
on the last one *wobbles* i couldnt get to him for about 5 mins after he was born as she kept moving as the plencter was stuck inside still, i got the sac from around his mouth cleared of but had to wait a few more mins before being ablee to do anything else.
anyway since then he has had this trouble with his head, its kinda like it goes from side to side and he gets confused on where he wants to go etc.. he climbs in his food to eat, but apart from this he is fine, uses the litter tray very well, drinks ok plays ok.
he does get startled very very easily and i have to quickly pick him up and settle him or his head will not stop swaying once his calm his fine again.
when they went for the first check up at 4 weeks the vet wanted to wait untill he was a little older bfore doing tests and to see if things got better, then they got flu so all was put on hold. everyone is ok now thank god.
anyway we took them all up y.dayto start vacs (because of the flu they didnt want to start them untill now) and the vet said from hearing everything i have told him and from what he has seen that my wobbles has CEREBRAL PALSY, but he has been luckly as to not have the mutated face etc.
they said its normally seen in cats whos mum was sick with Feline Infectious Enteritis, (Feline Panleukopaenia, Feline Distemper) during pregnancy which may have defects in the kittens.
she had a UTI at the begging which could also have an effect as she was on a long course of antibiotics, but normally they would have obsorved SP the kitten or miscarried. which she didnt do.
they said he can lead a happy life we just need to be extra carfull around him, his also so much more loving then any kitten we have ever had, (overly loving) which no complaints here lol.
i just wanted to find out if anyone has had experince with this, i have tried looking it up on the internet but they only seem to show bad cases of it and not like my wobbles.
thanks for reading this long thread lol.
