Re: Paralyzed kitten in Tavares, FL urgent***

carolc, that is a very cute video. Butterbean's leg sticks out to the side and gets stuck on things, so it is definitley in the way. otherwise they look very similar. the onesie was Legume's and yes he did have a collar to keep it on too. hopefully his one leg adn tail will be enough to keep the dia...

Re: Paralyzed kitten in Tavares, FL urgent***

His case of the sniffles was al ittle worse this morning, probably from the ride & new place etc. i have him on Clavamox. My vet clinic is open Friday I am going to call them in the morning and see if we can get him tested.
His hind legs have joints only at the hip.<br />His tail has a joint at the base and then the first half is fused.  the rest is sort of limp.  it is tucked under him in this pict.

His legs and hind end have some irritation from scooting along the floor.  most of the scald is healed up.  I put this onsie on him, that once belonged to another very special kitty, to protect his hind end.  it came off his shoulders eventually but stayed around him hindend which was the point.

Re: Paralyzed kitten in Tavares, FL urgent***

He is at a shelter, and one where they do not take good care of him. They did not change his diaper for THREE DAYS. any delay in transport would mean him staying there :( I set up a 'chip in' fundraising site. please share it around. http://butterbean.chipin.com/butterbean-kitten [chipin]f7e6e45c292...
