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!)

Purrs for a quick recovery would be appreciated.

Major purring coming for the wee one.

I've told the story before about Tripod, a kitten my great aunt
adopted when his previous was going to put him to sleep after his leg
was accidently crushed, and amputated. Tripod was a lively cat, up to
his teens when he finally slowed down, and lived to be over 20 before
leaving for the bridge.

Purrs for the kitten. Poor baby! I guess that I'm missing something in
the logic here, though. If the leg is not broken, and the paw is not
cold to the touch (meaning that the circulation is still going), why
would they be wanting to amputate or PTS? Is the joint out of the
socket? Can't they fix that? Several years ago we had a d*g who tore
the tendon (ligament? it was a long time ago) in her knee, and TED was
able to surgically repair the damage.

No expert here, but I would think TED could be worried about nerve
damage.

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