hi i'm only new but was after some info about my kitten
Where i work there are alot of feral cats, I'm into assisting a Rescue Org in Australia mainly with horse fostering but little Phantom was desserted by his mother at approx 4 days of age when some pallets were moved. there was only 1 other kitten and she took that one but left this little one behind. Of course she did move him from the top of the pallet approx 1.6 mtrs off the ground to the ground.
Ok so i take him straight to a vet, i'm armed with bottle formula new bed etc and instructions, for the first 2 weeks he is doing well, gaining weight etc and then i come across someone that has a nursing mother and says i can put little phantom with her as well. Yeah!
the vets had said this would be the best thing to do
after 4 weeks the 'carer' rings to ask if they can keep him NO sorry his mine (mind you i visit him every week take pics etc) so i say i will want him back next week (6 weeks old) on the due date after reluctance i get my baby back and yesterday he had his first vaccination and received his microchip.
However, his little legs are bowed, they are bandy legged when he walks.
Whilst he is happy healthy and eating drinking pooping very well this can't be good?
Just wondering if there is anything i can give him to help straighten his legs. I forgot to ask the vet yesterday with the horror of seeing the gigantic microchip needle and he is only the size of a 4 week old kitten
probably due to his mother being under nourished and no i have no idea where she is now either.
