Question
I found a kitten yesterday and both of its back legs are broken and tail is limp. It cannot control its pee or poo. I put a diaper on it for now. Its not in any pain. Everytime I touch its legs or back it doesnt even flinch. I've been feeding it and letting it sleep. I dont know what to do. I dont have the money for a vet. So I am stuck between just taking care of it or letting animal control put it down. please, can you give me some advice on what should be the best thing to do. I have been crying and crying trying to figure out what would be best for this kitten. please help me. thanks.

Answer
Thank you for being a good Samaritan. I think the very best you could do now is to find a humane society/shelter. They will examine the kitten and if anything can be done, they will do it. I would suspect a spinal injury or possibly a congenital problem.

There are a number of holistic veterinarians in North Carolina, so if you email me at HealthyAnimals@aol.com or call 410-771-4968 you may be near one who could help you out.
