Hello all!
I'm new here and introduced myself and my fur babies in the appropriate thread.
I just found out yesterday that my precious, sweet, wild & crazy flame point Siamese manx has "Manx Syndrome". I've been researching my butt off, but am being told some weird things that are breaking my heart. A friend of mine works at a vet clinic in Florida so she was asking questions for me. They said:
1) "it would be most humane to put him down"..... Wha?!? I never even considered that....
2) "he will get thrombosis and die in hours".... Wha?!? I googled it and didn't find much about this being a significant or dominate thing with these kitties.
I know that my sweet Beastie is going to need a lot of love, care, attention, and medical attention. I'm willing to be the best I can be to make his life the best.
Any thoughts on the 2 things I posted above? I've read a couple threads on here about manx syndrome. I'm open and ready for any and all advice. I never even knew this was a "thing" with tailless kitties.
Thank you all very much for any advice or support. :heart4:
