I agree with the others. What are you feeding him/her?
DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Poor little mite should still be with its Mum

I would deff pop this kitten along to your vet
it sounds as though it needs worming and should be checked over....also those feet will need to be looked at

A vet may well be able to correct the leg problem aswell as the tummy, please if you cant afford to get the neccessary treatment contact a local rescue, the sooner little ones get treatment the better

Please take this little one to the vets Monkeyboy! 6 wks old is very young and they can go downhill so quickly.... A decent vet would see your plight and maybe offer you to pay in installments!  ;)

I too would recomend a trip to the vets, for your own peace of mind as well.

I would have to say a vet check too, to be on the safe side.

If your cat is otherwise healthy (cats with disabilities can live long and happy lives), then I doubt they would suggest pts  :hug: unless there was something serious going on internally as well.

Vet costs can vary depending on where in the country you are?

welcome.

the best advice is to take it to a vet. Has it been wormed? A vet will be able to check if there is anything else causing it problems wit its motions.

hey people

i recently got a kitten from my sister it was the runt of the litter and has clubbed feet which most people would find bad but it's able to get around rather well i know it could cause problems later but the other thing is that it is unable to poo properly which isnt good as i have had to help it as it can actually push it out it has a good appetite an it's belly feels full but im thinkin that it may be a little backed up any adviced with this would be very helpful an much appreciated

 :thanks: ste
