a week ago her legs would not bend on their own and it took about 10 min of warming and massages to get them to even bend in the slightest. Now it's less than 3 min before they start to flex and 5 min when they will move into the right pose without any pressure at all. Checked on them tonight...

I was actually hoping the person who started the older thread would have any other words of wisdom on this since it's only a couple of months old. :-) But I really do appreciate it! Its concerning having a vet tell me to start thinking about "quality" of life already with her being so young...

This is very encouraging to me!  I was searching threads for more information because one of my kittens has both of her legs twisted :-( I am massaging several times a day but sick with worry!  When did you start to see her getting a bit better?  How often did you massage?  Any tips? Its both...

I know much more experienced people will answer you very soon!  7 days ago (my only experience, so please take others advice) I had a stray pregnant cat adopt me and have babies in my garage.  She had two kittens and I swear I felt two more lumps inside of her.  I called the vets after hours...

UPDATE ON LEGS My daughter Lex and I trade off ever 2-3 hours doing massages and stretching routines on our baby girl Buttercup.  She is a sport and mommy is very watchful of us but trusting. Buttercup is ALREADY progressing.  It is not a whole lot but every time we massage her it takes less...

Right now I have my husband pretty convinced they are going to be roommates for awhile...but it was hilarious as I was bringing in her new cat tree, fancy litter box (fancy as in it has a top and filter) and good smelling litter.  I do not think he really thought through telling me that they...

How high up is good?  I know cats can jump good distances but I am always worried if it is too high she will jump in right on top of the babies without being able to see...should there be a perch so she can see where she is jumping?  We are getting all the floors redone in December so I am...

Also what age do they start to "meww" as stated above my husband is extrmely supportive...but when the kittens start to make a bunch of cute noises at inappropriate times of the night he may lose some of his compassion...haha I am hoping the weather will allow me to move them back into the...

Momma cat was panting and breathing heavy in the garage...after reading the forums and researching it seems that this is not normal and means she is hot and the kittens can't control their body temperature. I moved them into my bedroom and made a nest in the closet. I closed the door only open...

I got the link! Thank you so much I cannot tell you how encouraging that was!

So I just tried that with my extra large dog crate I have and she let me move them just watching me and before I could even sit she loved them back with me watching her one by one. So I waited 30 min and did it again...she preceded to do it again.. I think she likes her place right now. Maybe...

Momma really likes her place right now I'm hoping when they get a tad older she will let me move them...right now when I try to move them she just looks at me lets me and then while I'm still in there moves them back haha it's kinda cute, but when they start walking I will have to insist...

Yes I asked him that lol he said we will need to take it off and do the massaging every 4-6 hours. Hopefully we can get them flexed enough by week 2 to get her in them

Ok so do the physical therapy and massaging and when the legs will easily go into the position them splint it..

Should I do it now or wait another week to splint? My husband is a medic and has the splinting materials...
