Re: twisted hind legs

Thanks all. the best of it is though I had no actual involvement in her recovery. I think I massaged and stretched her legs mebbe half a dozen times, all the rest was her. She's still relativley small compared to the others and is still relativley unsteady on her feet but all she needs is a bit of time. I'll try and post a pic of her as she is now, I'll take it in the same position as the first pic so you can see the difference

Re: twisted hind legs

I am so glad she is coming on and doing so well. My Othello, who had the funny legs, was the smallest in the litter as well, but the heart of a lion. The tops of his feet were bald because he dragged them behind him more than use them, but he gradually came right and lived to the ripe old age of 19 yrs. The smallest in the litter often have the biggest purrsonalities, they are definite heart stealers.

Re: twisted hind legs

I am totally out of my depth here, but just wanted to say that my heart goes out to you.

Have you searched the internet for information? Probably a silly question, but worth mentioning.

Hi Sarah. As far as I know she's now on a mouse hunt on a farm in North Yorkshire with 2 of her brothers. She came right within a couple weeks, she was just a little smaller and had a slightly squashed nose and a slight surprised look to her (the squashed face and larger than norm eye sockets made her eyes pop out a little)

As I said in one of my previous posts, the vet that we saw wanted to put her down, but my advice is don't. Just bear with it, a little massage every now and then and make sure she can get to mum for a feed and hopefully she should be right as rain. Good Luck
