CH Kitty Club

20120213 smheard (Tiger)

Tiger is deaf, partially blind in his left eye and has CH.

Tiger and his brother were left with rescue volunteers at an event on October 2. We estimate they were 2 days old at most. At intake, Midnight (the black one) weighed 4.0 ounces and Tiger (the tiger-tabby) weighed 3.4 ounces.

Tiger&#39;s symptoms are hopefully just a developmental thing with his coordination and motor skills. Tiger dropped to 3.1 ounces after the first 24 hours, but has come back strong. They&#39;re eating well, and are strong and vocal.

Tiger is extremely uncoordinated; most of his movements are corkscrews, spins, spirals, or a combination of the above. According to his veterinarian, Tiger may have a vestibular condition which prevents him from finding his balance. Aside from that, he seems healthy. He eats well, and his other bodily functions are within normal parameters. We&#39;re hoping he&#39;ll grow out of his condition. His vet will do additional testing as appropriate. 10/19/10
