My 6 week old kitten can't stand up. Why?
My outside cat gave birth to one kitten about 6 weeks ago. She's a little girl. For the first few weeks, she seemed just fine. Started eating regular cat food. Because of a lot of moving trucks that were passing through my yard, I brought her and her mother inside to keep them safe. Less than a week later, I noticed little Molly stumbling when she tried to walk. It's gotten a lot worse now. She can't stand up to eat her food. I bought her some kitten Vitamin Paste by Pro-Pet and am trying to supplement her diet by feeding her Just Born milk for orphaned kittens while she is still nursing with her mother. She seems perfectly healthy other than her inability to stand and walk. I have to get her to the vet soon, but having some financial problems. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I've had cats my entire life but have never seen anything quite like this. She does not seem to be in pain, but I worry about that, too. She seems so frustrated that she can't walk and play. Help?

I'm sorry to hear about your kitten... I really don't know what could be wrong. You could try calling around a few vets and getting a payment plan. These days I'm not sure how you would go but it is worth a shot! Our vet has a strict no billing policy but with regular clients (ones he knows will pay up!) like us we just have a tab that we add to, you could try that as well. |

I'm not a vet, but your kitten sounds like one I had a while back that was diagnosed as having ataxia, a neurological disorder. My vet told me that some cats learn to function even with this disorder. I'd see a vet as soon as I could afford to just in case it's something else.
