I actually don't know if bracing would be a viable option. The deformed vertebrae are T11, 12, and 13. A brace in this area would probably compress her chest, which would be bad, plus keeping pretty much anything on the midsection of a cat without surgically attaching it.... It would basically have to be a full-body something which would severely limit her mobility, her ability to use the litterbox, and decrease her quality of life. It also wouldn't change the fact that her vertebrae are deformed. Surgery is not an option partly because funds... realistically, I work at a shelter. Those thousands of dollars could be better spent helping a hundred other animals. The other reason is that what research I've done into human scoliosis is that the risk of paralysis after scoliosis surgery is very high. I could cut her life a lot shorter by attempting surgery. I am saving up to have an MRI done just so we can get more information and I could maybe do a case study. This is an extremely rare condition in cats. I've only been able to find a single case study, and that was a kitten that also had pectus excavatum (rare, but far more common than scoliosis) and lordosis (also rare and far more common than scoliosis). For the electrical stim, I don't know that she'd hold still long enough for it to help unless she's sedated for it.
Basically, every option in humans has major pitfalls or impracticalities for a little hyper foster kitten. We're optomistic that she might make it to a year before the nerve damage to the colon prevents her from defecating. I love her, and I wish I had a magic wand that could fix her.
