    4 week old kitten skull deformality, any hope?
    I'm new to this forum, but I'm desperate, and if anyone could provide me any advice I would be so grateful. I recently found a 3 week old stray kitten a week ago, took him to the vet where he was treated for an infection, and have been raising him since. He's doing well - has gotten up to the correct temperature, is putting on a little weight, etc... but yesterday, at a vet follow up, the vet discovered a skull deformality on the lower back of the kitten's head, from which a little bubble of brain fluid had formed. He drained this fluid, but it promptly refilled. The vet said if the skull didn't close, which it most likely will not due to the location its in, we will have to put the kitten to sleep. I love him more than anything, and am desperately trying to find anyone who has had a similar thing happen and may have some alternate advice. He is such a happy, spirited little kitten... there just must be some other course of treatment we can try. Please, if anyone has any ideas, I would be so thankful to hear anything. Thank you :(
