I am a foster mom for 4 beautiful kittens now 2 weeks old. I have had them for one week (mom is here also). One of the little manx kittens had a “sore” above her tail which was seen by a vet. I was instructed to put neosporin on it. I then noticed the kitten was not straightening her back legs when she walked. I took it to another vet and here is the bad news. She has spina bifida – the worse case of Manx syndrome and will not be able to walk or control her bowels or bladder. We have a no-kill shelter so they will do everything possible but I know there isn’t much that can be done. She will be unadoptable. Even in a no-kill shelter they will euthanize for medical reasons. So I have agreed to keep her with her litter-mates until they are 8 weeks and will go back to the shelter for neutering and adoption.
My question is…. what is the best things I can do with little kitten with what is probably the last month of her life. Should I play with her or let her just enjoy her siblings?
Thank you.
