Sylvie's kittens have weird rib cages? Help??

[my_cat_sissy]

I have noticed that two of Sylvie's kittens have sort of wide, flattened rib cages, as though they could scramble under a door, if that helps to explain. The other two seem normal. They are only two weeks old. Does anyone know anything about this?

I hope they're all right. I have already lost one when he was three days old.

Dr. Leo says that the two kittens are "flat chested". It is a deformity that they may or may not overcome. Sometimes they outgrow it and live normal lives. The little Siamese is doing better than her litter mate. He has a hard time breathing sometimes and also has a heart murmur. He gets very weak and even turned blue. Dr. Leo gives him a 50/50 chance to survive.

The other two kittens are fat and happy kittens. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you.

Oh Susan.. I am so sorry to hear this about the babies :( . Bless your heart for doing everything you can for them. I'll be saying lots of prayers for you and the babies... you're an angel ;)

Thanks Jan. She was a stray for most of her pregnancy. I doubt they had the nutrition they needed to build bones and grow. It's been a heart break. I appreciate your kindness.
