My indoor four month old kitten,little bits, first born of seven, and the only long hair, and by far the
friendliest, first of seven to pur, and the one that seemed
Most affectionate to me of her 6 larger siblings, experienced head trauma jan 2. She is in the hospital still, and is recieving oxygen to minimize brain damage the vet said she may have, because she turns away from her right side where she experienced the trauma (she was tripped over by a man in heavy boots who's knee gave out) i am so heart broken for her! But i dont know if her personality, and spacial ability, memory etc is there. Nor is there any kind of aptitude test available to assess trauma to a young mamal,as far as i know. If so please inform me. Her symptoms, now stable for 2 nights, are sitting up on her own but not wanting to lower her head, her right eye does not seem to register vision, she flops her head to the left, and cowers away from the right side,not in a learned reflex response way,as if one were afraid to be struck, it does not appear like that at all. It appears more floppy headed, like a nervous system misfiring and she is prefering to circle to the left. She is only 4 months old( just got word from the vet as i am writing this tgst
dhe is ok to come home!) How can i best help her regain focus and spatial ability, and care for her? I am not sure yet if her personality or abilities have faded or changed. Because she is young, will she bounce back better than if she were fully developed? I just want to do the best for her to make her heal happily.
