I Hope This Email Finds You Well. I Wanted To Provide You With An Update Regarding …

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to provide you with an update regarding my kitten’s condition and share the findings from another veterinaries opinion I sought.
As previously discussed, I took my kitten to two different veterinarians for examination and attached their report for your reference. They provided their own insights and suggestions for potential treatment.
Additionally, the second veterinarian suggested exploring the possibility of physical therapy (PT) as a potential avenue for helping my kitten. He mentioned that PT has shown positive outcomes in some cases of mobility issues in animals. I wanted to seek your professional opinion on this matter and discuss the feasibility and potential benefits of PT for my kitten’s condition.
I greatly value your expertise and I am seeking your guidance in determining the best course of action for my kitten’s well-being.

If you could kindly review the attached report and provide your thoughts I will be appreciated.

    Hello,

    In my experience these cases do best with at home physical therapy We make a detailed plan and recheck about every two weeks. You need to teach your kitten how to walk with some assistance from light splinting for support. I have a few videos on my YouTube channel that demonstrate this.

    Good luck. Ty for helping this little one.

Kitten Legs Do Not Bend From The Joint

I am writing to seek guidance and assistance regarding a concern I have about my four-week-old kitten. Last week, I noticed that her legs do not bend from the joint, and I am unsure of what steps I should take to address this issue. While she can move her legs, she is unable to walk and instead crawls using her front legs. I believe this condition may have been present since birth, as there have been no accidents or injuries that could have caused it.

I would greatly appreciate any advice or assistance that you or anyone else could provide in helping my kitten. She is a Scottish kitten

Thank you in advance for your attention and support.

    Hello,
    Your kitten should see a veterinarian for help. I cannot advise what to do until the kitten has an exam. In almost all cases it ir very hard to treat these guys as they have bones with open growth plates if it is a congenital defect she may learn to ambulate around her defect.
    I wish her well and I hope you can get to a vet soon

      Thank you for your prompt response. I appreciate your willingness to assist with my kitten’s condition. I have scheduled an appointment for my kitten’s examination on Tuesday. I’ll keep you posted on the results afterward regarding the findings and any recommendations provided by the veterinarian.
