He doesnt seem to want to walk

[Catlady711]

I'd highly suggest a visit to the vet.

While he may not be 'sick', it's possible he has a nerological problem, or possibly a problem with his spine, spinal cord, or even heart problems (sometimes they can cause blood clots in the legs). A vet will help you find out what's wrong with him, and what you might be able to do to help him.

Ditto to the above post!! A visit to the vet seems the only way to find our what is going on with your boy....Good luck!!! and a few prayers, too...

Laura's Babies has a CH kitty named Amy. Here is a link to a video from one of her posts. You might find it helpful. MAYBE this is what Milkman has.

I really do want to take him to the vet but at this point(just moved out on my own and all) I dont have much money
I've been working extra hours so that i can get caught up with my bills and im trying to save up the cash for a visit
i found a free check up&im thinking bout trying that

The first video wouldnt load up for me but charley and gordon where adorable
Milkman could walk like gordon when he was a kitten

My boyfriend who is taking engineering classes is coming up with several ideas to help build muscle in his hind legs

Hi, lizbob - yes, money is really tight! If there is a vet school somewhere near you, that might save you some $$ in the future.

IF Milkman has CH, then his problem is neurological, and muscle building doesn't cure it. However...a little strengthening never hurt. But it's caused by damaged nerves, and nothing to do with fitness.

If you can get that free checkup, the vet might mention whether the back leg muscles seem weak or not. Best of luck with that!
