Curious to know if any breeders out there have ever had a kit born with below the waist paralysis. If so, what was the outcome.
I helped to deliver a kit breech 3 days ago. She was very weak but I managed to revive her. Other than being weak she appeared fine. Several hours later she seemed even weaker and barely moving. Noticed at that time she appeared to be paralyzed from waist down.
Left her with mom and that evening she was alert and attempting to nurse when mom was right by her but made no attempt to follow mom. Does not pull or drag herself around cage.
Decided to give her some time to see if caused by swelling. Each day she seems to get stronger but still no movement in back legs. No response to painful stimuli. Unable to determine if she is eliminating on own or mom is doing all the work for her but she is clean.
Here we are at day three and I just can't see a positive outcome for this kit. Once weaned not sure how she will do when mom can't keep her clean.
Any advice/stories?
