Hey Everyone,

My cat had a litter of 3 kittens 4 weeks ago. 2 of them are healthy
but 1 was born with Spinibifida. She had thrived so far even thou she
is much smaller, and we are bottle feeding her. I was just wondering
if anyone has any information about spinibifida or if you have a cat
with spinibifida could you please contact me and give me some
information?

Thanks A Lot!

I have also looked online and haven't found anything on this condition.
My next step it to find vet schools hoping they will know what to do.

Try this web site: http://www.vetinfo.com/catneuro.html. The
condition is spelled "spina bifida." You can do a google search with
"kitten" and "spina bifida" for more info.
