I purchased 2 male Maine Coon kittens. Last week at their vet visit, one weighed 4 lbs., the other 1/2 lb. The vet suspects portal shunt which means a blood vessel is bypassing the liver. They are only guessing because he is too small for a blood test or ultrasound. His heart is fine, no worms, no other things such as aids, leukemia, etc.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I have been taking him to work with me because he needs frequent small meals. He is also on 2 prescription vitamins.
He is a wonderful kitten and this has been stressful and I just can't find anything on kittens not growing.
