Contracted Tendons in Kittens

Has anyone else seen this???? Ayla was born with contracted tendons in her left fore leg and I was just wondering if anyone else has come across it?

I have been chatting to an oriental breeder who has just had one kitten born with contracted tendons in both front legs.

Heres a site if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

*Warning*
Personaly I dont think it's gross, infact I'm interested in it as I had a kitten with it, but there are pictures of kittens with twisted legs on this page so if you dont want to see them ...... dont look. All the kittens got better though

Nobody?????

no sorry never saw this before - so how is your Ayla doing now?

 

Hi,

I know this post is really old now and I hope your cat is doing fine. I have been fostering a kitten named Spartacus with the same issue. Both front legs were deformed and he was walking on his elbows.

I am writing on this board to inform others that might have a kitten with the same problem that this can be corrected with physical therapy. Spartacus is now 9 weeks and walking on one of his front legs, we are still working on the other one and hoping that this leg will be ok as well. You can see his progress on www.facebook.com/thekittenspartacus . We started This page to raise awareness and to share advice. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
