Amy's vet visit went very well today, she weighs 6 pounds now at 5 months. She saw another vet, other than the other 2 she has seen there and this vet was really great with her (or me?). Remember, Amy is the one with the bad hip/leg that wobbles and quivvers on her all the time and I have been concerned as to what might be wrong. This vet, checked out her previous X-ray's that included her hip and she examined them really good and saw nothing. So, then she turned to Amy and began a real good examination of her hip/leg which she continued for a pretty good length of time. Her conclusion is there is muscle or nerve damage caused while in the birth canal. She soothed my concerns and told me Amy would lead a long, normal, healthy life once she understands her limits and to let her set her own limits.
I feel better with the third opinion that matched the other two and a vet that spent enough time with me to calm my fears and worrys about my special needs kitty baby. Her appointment is set for next Wednesday to have her "fixed" since this vet said with her problem, it is very important NOT to let her have kittens with this hip/leg thing. The weight of it would greately handicap her even more. Phew! I feel so much better. Just remember her in your prayers next Wednesday if you will...I still will worry)
