Retarded?

Post by Megan »

My cat had kittens and one of them, i think, might be retarded. It hasn't grown much since birth and its eyes point in different directions. She's very slow and she sleeps a lot more than the others. Is there such thing as something like a feline down sydrome? and if so, what can you do?

Megan, please get your kitten to your vet IMMEDIATELY! This could be anything from distemper to fading kitten syndrome, don't take that risk with her life and health, get her to an ER vet pronto!!
