Uppy-date time. Dr. Dunn called me, and had Georgie knocked out, X-rayed, and neutered. He said that if Georgie had had physical therapy as a tiny kitten, he wouldn't have had any problems. Doc said it's a condition called "swimmer" kitten (happens more often in pups) where the legs are splayed apart. No doubt he was on a slippery surface while nursing, otherwise he probably would have had enough traction to build up his muscles on his own. I gave Doc the "go ahead" to do what he could while Georgie was tranquilized. He snipped away fibrous tissue from inside his legs, and I'll be doing a lot of P.T for a while to come. I'm scared to see what he'll look like, and what the bill will be. But it was either now, or go through a second round of tranq. and maybe have worse results as Georgie gets bigger. Hopefully the lil' tyke will have some range of motion in his legs now. The bones are all normal looking (I suspected that anyway) but they are shorter than they should be for his age and growth. Hopefully his 'growth plates' haven't been affected by the waiting, and he'll catch up in the end and be able to get around better in the future. I'm heading off to pick him up soon. I'll keep ya'll posted. Jan
