Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone knew what to do about a 10wk old kitten that seems to fall down very easily. "Yo Yo" started walking later then the rest of the litter and despite that fact he seems perfectly healthy he tends to run into things or falls down.
His appearence makes me wonder if he wasn't the first born and the mother had difficulty. His face is a little flatter and his eyes are 'spacey'. He actually looks like a bear cub!
My bf found the mother and kittens and the mother is pretty much a big kitten herself. They all eat great and are very active...Yo Yo is just the one that seems a little off. When you pick him up he doesn't seem to have control of his head. The same when he's walking around...I'm not sure if it's a vision problem or neck muscles. Is this something that is just a birth defect or something that can be treated?
Take care, M
