I posted about a kitten born with a back leg that was bent inward when born.

This is the thread

http://www.thecatsite.com/t/280638/introduction-and-a-few-questions#post_3592464

I got a response with some amazing info about twisted leg, and how to do therapy to try helping with it. That post was 2 weeks and 1 day ago. My daughter has done the therapy with Gimpy since the day he was born, many times a day. Today marks 15 days of therapy, and I am VERY happy to say that his leg has almost COMPLETELY corrected already!! My daughter was in tears when he took his first "normal" step with that leg! She has adored him since he was born because he was "different" so this was soo huge for her with all the therapy she did with him. I should add she just turned 10yrs old, but is much more grown up then that, when it comes to her animals, its heart warming. Anyway, thanks soo much to the person who posted the info for me 2 weeks ago, it made a world of difference for our little Gimpy!!

Tx for this wonderful report!   @tdurkee   !   @momto3cats    who  gave the link,  will surely also be happy to read this.

And please tell your  young veterinarian /rescuer to be;   She has hereby got   StefanZ´s  Big Medal of Merit  in gold.  

With the portrait  of the King of Sweden,  Carl 16 Gustav on front side, and the number 10 on backside.

This medal can also by used as a coin, the worth if used as plain money is about 2 dollars.      :)

Anyways, I use this now and then as a medal, if the merit is big enough and the occasion is proper.   Which is here.

Awe, thanks everyone!!! I am soo thrilled he (an his brother) will be staying with us forever ♡♡ Their sister will be going to my cousins, where I know she wil be loved to pieces too ♡ It's soo nice to know Momma and all 3 kittens will be neutered/spayed. These kittens were a huge blessing, but we don't want more. There are way too many out there needing homes, we refuse to add to that problem.
