I'd posted in a previous thread that Ferris seems to have something wrong with his rear legs. They splay just a little bit, even when he is sitting, and he has had difficulty standing up on just his hind legs. He goes down onto his heels a LOT, where other cats would stay standing.
Through the suggestion of a TCS member and some research I did afterward, I strongly suspect that he has a slight case of the rickets.
I'm taking him to the vet this afternoon at 5:20. Getting him into the carrier ought to be fun
but at least he's much, much tamer than he was even just a week ago. I'm also going to have the doc check his stool, as it continues to be a little soft.
His legs seem to have gotten a little stronger, but I'm still concerned, so off we go later today.
Please send us some good vibes so that he doesn't freak out too much either because of the carrier or the vet trip, and that there isn't anything really wrong with him than perhaps some poor early nutrition!
