My cat had kittens two days ago. Two of them their foot looks broke because it is tangled together. One of the kittens is dragging the other around. The one that is getting dragged looks to be the runt and I even tried to get it to latch to mamas nipple but its not even doing that. Vets are expensive and I don't want to give my cat up :( What should I do???

Oh...  Whatever it is, it seems to be unusual and serious.  Do you have good picts?

Does this runt eats as far as you saw?  If not, his days are counted.  If you want save it, you must perhaps give it kitten milk, kmr, yourself.   Very soon!

You have more kittens than these two?

If your opinion is correct, they have broken legs, and intangled in each other, it IS of course a vet errand.

You MUST do something about it.

This way or another.  So it is. 

Before they die by themselves with great pains.

I understand you are reluctant to go to the vet who perhaps takes 100 dollars just for taking a look.

Try at least to get someone other knowleable cat people or dog people, or even - mice / small animal people, to come and take a look what it is.  Any of these living in your town or county.  There are 100% surely such people.

IF it is broken legs, it is great pains who will be worse with time as the older gets older (the runt will die soon if you dont do anything).  But possibly they are in some way grown together? Like siam-twins?

This is not so painful, but a vet must do something here too. Esp if the runt dies....

sorry, whatever you do, you must do something, very soon.

There are cheaper clinics, so you can surely get a look from them, but I dont think they are fond in advanced surgery for these cheap prices. Still, contact one of them.

Perhaps by phone to begin with.

Keep us updated!

Good luck!    *vibes*

ps.  There is alos a not so unusual condition "twisted legs". It looks horrible, but isnt that very serious.  Kittens usually gets OK with time.

Just very possibly, they can perhaps have this - and got intertangled.

IF so, you must untangle them, preferably with help of the vet or at least, someone very knowleable.  And of course, you must work on your runt. His time is running now.

Having kittens is expensive, these little ones need to see a vet if they are stuck together. You will also need to feed them if they aren't latching onto mum or they won't survive.
