Hello,
Is anyone here familiar with Swimmers Syndrome in cats? I was informed today that the baby I'm getting in January went for his shots today and he has swimmers syndrome, which the vet said is caused by him being so large and growing so fast and his back legs aren't keeping up with the growth. The vet told the breeder that he should outgrow it within the next month, other than that he's doing great! He does walk and run and play just fine but he will rest his legs after awhile, quite honestly I noticed he was laying a lot on the videos that were sent to me when he started moving but didn't think much of it. The breeder is very reputable and I know she wouldn't lie to me or not tell the truth that he will outgrow it and be fine, but when I told my vet about it, she immediately said DON'T GET HIM! I'm a little worried as I don't want him to have any issues as he grows or when he's an adult, but I already love him so much and am so excited to get him, I'm just not sure what to think. Any help would be appreciated!
I tried to post a video but it won't let me, are you able to post videos on here?
