My kitten is 5 weeks and 3 days old. He's huge for his size. He's about the size of a 9 week old kitten. I'm thinking it's a pituitary gland tumor like in humans which can cause rapid growth. He's also deaf.
Extra info. His mother is a small cat and he was a liter of one. His eyes opened at 1 1/2 week old. He went from Tiny peanut to the size of a 3 week old kitten in a week. He seemed to rub his ears a lot when small I thought it was just them being itchy but with the deafness I'm not sure. He's been to the vet whom I had to argue his age with. I helped birth him was there I marked in on a calender along with his markings and took a photo. I KNOW his exact age. They won't do any tests unless I allow them to do a full spectrum which is like 10k or more. I opted for choosing which exact tests to do. Which they agreed but I need to have an idea of which ones because lab fees check up fee them the actual tech and test fees are all separate unless I do all the tests at once(trying to lesson the blow to my wallet) so any ideas what can cause deafness and rapid growth in a 5week old kitten. He also has blue eyes but that could also be his eyes havnt changed yet. Picture attached.
