We picked up Chrissie last Thursday I wont say where but she was seconds from being PTS....Why? because she was born with a birth defect and had a urine infection :censored:
Chrissie is a female Tabby :Luv: about 8wks old She is also a wobbler
We took her to the vets as soon as we picked her up and was given some pain relief and antibotics weighted and fed little darling was starving was also passing blood in her urine and became very distressed when going to the loo
She started off being conspitated and we managed to sort that out but then she had a very up set tummy it was flowing through her so she was put on r/c recovery...Her little tummy is not able to handle food at the moment
On saturday Chrissie had to go another fosterer as we were bringing 26 cats to the cpl and done very well there.
She arrived back to me this evening with a new bed which she loves some toys and some tins of R/C Recovery :Luv:
She is no longer passing blood when she pees and her poops are getting firmer :Luv: She still tires very easy
we are back to the vet with her on wednesday for a check up
Whe she was picked up

:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
Such a cutie!!!
Whats her birth defect?
-
awww shes beautiful :Luv2:
-
Aww, fingers crossed for her, she is very pretty, and so young to have a urine infection.
-
She is beautiful.
Her stance makes me wonder if she is a C.H. cat ?
-
:Luv2: what beautiful sparkly eyes
-
I :Luv: Chrissie. :)
-
She is beautiful.

She is a C.H kitten but she is a joy to look after and there dosnt seem to be anything wrong with her brain :Luv2:
-
What a lovely little face. Hope she gets well very soon :Luv:

sorry i may sound a bit dim! but whats C.H?
-
it means she's a spastic cat (i know that's politically incorrect but cats dont care about being PC and it's the easiest way to explain the condition). CH stands for CEREBELLAR HYPOPLASIA. ;)

awwwwwwwwww bless her, i love her even more now :'( :Luv2: :Luv:
so will she have any problems? like in everyday cat life stuff?
sorry for the hundred questions, but i never knew about things like this. I feel like a bad cat owner for not knowing that this kind of this is possible :'(
-
i'm sure there are others more clued upon the condition than i am but as far as i'm aware it doesnt affect a cats life span and the one that i knew lived until she was 18. she was slower and clumsier than the other cats in the household but other than a dodgy gait/posture and a lot of falling off of window sills she was a healthy and happy cat. the people i knew just had cushions under all the window sills and tall furniture to catch her if she fell.

Chrissie has problems with her back legs she has no control over them but she has adapted well and uses her front legs for climbing up on things she is not suppose to :Luv2: her problem is trying to get down as she has no fear and ends up landing on her head :rofl: we have blankets and pillows all over the place so she dosnt hurt her self :Luv2: She is tucking into her lunch at the moment and loves the R/C recovery.
I have have never had C.H cat before in all my yrs of rescue but have seen them and helped out at the cattery where there was a few of them but Chrissie is my first one :hug: so it is a learning curve for me as well ;)

:scared: its so sad that this can actually happen to babies, :'(
i was prob very niaeve to think this, but i didnt know about this kind of health issue would be possible for a pur-baby to have :'(

If you google it there is tons of information on C.H :hug:

loads and loads of info ;)
don't feel sad Sonnie. it seems to be far less serious than in humans and causes much less problems. the biggest threat is idiot organisations putting these babies to sleep when it'snot necessary. theres no reason why a CH cat cant have a happy and long life :hug:
-
She is a real sweety, how could anyone think of pts? Thank God not all rescues are so unenlightened.

ive just watched a vid on yourtube of furbabies with C.H. Bad idea.
Im emotional as it is and seeing them has finished me off :'(
-
C.H. cats are amongst the most loving and intelligent,we are very lucky to share our home with Minimopsical who is a severe case.We prefer to call her acrobatic rather than sp.....
The kitten is affected whilst in the womb when the cells in the part of the brain which control movement and balance dont develop.
Chrissie I am sure will amaze you with her ability to cope with everything.
Sonnie perhaps you might enjoy reading Minimopsicals story

-

-
i just read Minimopsicals story. she's beautiful, i love her :Luv2:

awwwww i love Minimopsical :Luv:
such a beautiful story, and beautiful pics too. Still made me cry :'(
although i have literally just found out about C.H, its a great relief to know that babies with C.H are happy,and well looked after. ;)
I have always wanted a job looking after to helping in looking after fur-babies, and this story makes me want that even more.
-
Aw, what a cutie, I'm so glad you got to her in time!
I never knew that C.H. existed until I read minimopsicals story a while back, but it seems that cats have many ways of coping with disabilities.
-
Chrissie is just :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: she is such a babe - and of course I just melt at tabbies :hug:
-
What a beautiful kitty :Luv2:
-
So glad that little Chrissie is in safe hands now and will get the care and TLC she deserves - she is sooooo gorgeous :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
She is such a lovely kitten and has fabulous markings - she will have a few bumps in her little life but hopefully she will live to be a ripe old age. I had never heard of this either Sonni so we have both learned something today.
-
thank heaven you rescued her - just because of a wee disability someone was going to have PTS :censored: >:( how crule can people be.

Definately, i suppose we learn something new everyday :Luv2:

Got a fone call for a person tonight from the same area that chrissie came from another kitten has been found the exact same markings size and age. the person that found the second kitten has misplaces the kitten :Crazy: how the hell do you missplace a kitten :censored: well she reckons it is either hiding in one of her rooms or got out the door :shify: I have asked her as soon as the kitten turns up to put it into a pet carrier and bring it to me asap and not to bring it to any other place :censored:
Hopefully Chrissie will have a friend :hug: will let you know as soon as I know ;)
-
She's gorgeous.
And how do you misplace a kitten?????
-
Aww bless....Chrissie is beautiful :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Fingers crossed for the second kitten
-
Good luck with Chrissies twin. :)
(By the way, I've just noticed your avatar - my friend had a baby boy at the end of January and he is called Khi too. Obviously it's spelt differently, though. Congratulations. :))
-
I wonder if this little kitten is a litter mate then? And as you say - how on earth do you misplace??? a kitten, althoough on saying that they can go into hiding when frightened I suppose.
-
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
And here is the misplaced kitten :Luv2:

Theses kittens are in Ireland and I cant say where they are coming from as we nearly didnt get chrissie and Amber was very dehydrided when we got her the other night it took us a while to get her as she had been misplaced :shocked: but both are coming on in leaps and bounds :Luv2:
