Purrs for

my Cousin's kitten.

My Cousin Nicki has a litter of Burmese babies that are a few weeks old, old
enough to be climbing, she got home from work a couple of nights ago to find
one of the litter with his foot bend backwards, a quick visit to the vet,
didn't seem to be broken but was told that she should massage the leg in
case the blood flow to the foot had been cut off.

Nicki received a phone call from the vet the next day to say that she (the
vet) had consulted with another vet and they thought it a good idea for the
leg to be x-rayed, she picked him up from the vet last night and was told
that the leg is not broken and she will have to keep an eye on it, if it
doesn't improve the likely options are amputation or being put to sleep
(absolutely the last resort!)

When human babies have twisted legs, they put braces on them - isn't
that an option for a kitten?


Purrs for a quick recovery would be appreciated.

Many purrs for the poor little sweetie. We do hope a solution can
be found and his leg can be saved.
