My boyfriend and I got our 10 week old kitten from a friends of ours when her cat had kittens. She is not a breeder and had no idea that manx kittens have a tendency to develop health problems. So we gt her home and find out that she cannot use the litter box. We take her to the vet and are told that she is incontinent. Her urine just dribbles out and she only poops when so much has built up that it just sort of falls out. It has been very hard to deal with. We thought about putting her in diapers but she is still to little for even preemie diapers. So we basically just keep her in the tilled portion of the house.
This was all well and good until her poop started getting softer. Now it is a horrid mess to clean up and she tracks it all over. We just don't know what to do. People we have contacted in our area for help have told us to put her to sleep. We just cant do that because she is otherwise a very happy, playful kitten. Any advice anyone has on caring for manx cats in general would be appreciated. Also if anyone has any ideas on how to harden up her poops, that would be great to.
