Cat ‘paralysed’ after microchip is accidentally injected into its spine!
February 18, 2014Corky was given life-saving surgery
A cat born with his legs back to front was given a new lease of life after pioneering surgery.
The seven-month-old kitten suffered from a congenital deformity known as ‘Bilateral Arthrogryposis’, which causes his legs to be the wrong way round.
His limbs were also crisscrossed like a corkscrew, leading staff at the shelter to name him Corky.
The courageous kitty learned to drag himself around on his two front paws at the shelter until his caretakers asked for the help of a local vet who came up with the idea of a special surgery that could bring Corky’s back legs the right way round.
Corky now walks on his legs normally thanks to intensive physical therapy sessions.
Staff at the shelter are thrilled with Corky’s progress, including his newfound ability to use his litter tray!
