Our little orange kitten has a majorly twisted back and it's affecting his ability to walk. I'm guessing he has scoliosis. I will be taking him to the vet today at 11:00 to have him evaluated. We don't have the ability to send him to a specialist so if his quality of life without treatment will not be good then we will be faced with saying goodbye to the little guy today.

The vet said that Caper had an extreme case of scoliosis and that there was nothing they could do for him and that in his case there really was no "quality of life" so we said good bye to the little guy.

Oh poor little one, but at least he's fine now running and playing at Rainbow Bridge like a normal little kitten. Sorry for the loss.
