Well the kitten is no longer bleeding in his stool however he still has
potty issues. I did notice that his butt was deformed, and his butt bleeds. Talked with the local humane society and they suggested it may be Manx Sydrome, which is a birth deformority caused by the fact he has such a stubby tail. I did a bit of research and I belive that if this is the case I think it may of caused spina bifida which would explain his potty issues. I do plan on taking him in monday to the vet. I also have to take one of my other cats in becuase today I noticed that he may have a nasty tick on his left hip which is eating a hole in him. *sigh* I just hope my cats get better I hate seeing them suffer.

I'm glad he's still around.
He really does need a good vet check. I can't believe your vet wouldn't do anything. Do he/she even suggest checking for worms? He could also take an x-ray to see what's going on. Sounds like you found another vet, I'm glad you're taking him in.

Even the humane society says the vet is good. |

I did a bit of research and I belive that if this is the case I think it may of caused spina bifida which would explain his potty issues. I do plan on taking him in monday to the vet. Oh, poor thing. I had a Manx who had just a little tuft of fur and no tail at all. He struggled to defacate cleanly, especially late in his life, so I used to just wipe his butt with a baby wipe. Sounds like what your boy has is extremely serious. I hope you and your vet can help him. I also have to take one of my other cats in becuase today I noticed that he may have a nasty tick on his left hip which is eating a hole in him. *sigh* I just hope my cats get better I hate seeing them suffer. Please remove the tick. Do a google search on how to do this properly if you don't know how. If it's been feeding for a while, you need to be extra careful in how you remove it, but you need to remove it yourself right now. (Flush it down the toilet after you remove it.) For future reference, ticks need to be removed right away. They can transmit nasty diseases. YOU can't catch them just by removing the tick, though, so please get it off your cat NOW. -- Lynne http://picasaweb.google.com/what.the.hell.is.it/ "Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself." ~ Kahlil Gibran |
