Forgotten Felines of Maine hasn't added a story.
Mowgli has a tendon contracture problem and was not born with twisted leg syndrome as originally thought. The long bones and the tendons are not growing in sync with one another causing the tendons to stay short and cause joint deformity. As Mowgli grows the bones will continue to deform and the joints will become painful. The one positive is that Mowgli's hips and knees are moving correctly. But due to Mowgli's right leg his case is severe and immediate action is required. The ankle joint on Mowgli's right leg is in the wrong direction so nothing can be done to help that leg. As he grows the leg will become more deformed and more painful. Amputation of his right leg is needed immediately. His right leg will be amputated mid tibia as it's a gentler amputation and leaves Mowgli the option of using his right leg when needed. This surgery will take place at Portland Veterinary Specialist by Dr. Agrodnia next Thursday, July 14th. He will most likely spend the night in the ER and come home on Friday. The cost of this surgery is $1,800. Since Mowgli's left leg isn't as severely affected as his right we are going to continue with daily stretches in the hopes he will learn to walk on the pad of that foot and not the top. Skin sores and joint pain are likely to happen if this isn't corrected. Benefits of this will take 2-3 months. He will be reevaluated at that time. As a small rescue group our mission has always been to do all we can once we rescue a cat. In the case of Mowgli his need is huge and we are asking for your help. This little guy has already been through so much...being born to a barn cat and left to be found at a couple weeks old in the barn loft. Surrendered to us at 8 weeks old by a group that couldn't help him and now in our hands where we feel he deserves all that we can do to make his life happy. Won't you please help be a part of Mowgli's journey...he sure needs you now. Thank you for always believing in our work and allowing us to rescue those that need us. God bless you. ❤️
