Apparently, it's pretty obvious by the shape of his ribs (and, ofc, the problem in his leg) since they don't develop properly due to calcium deficiency; rickets give them a certain shape and consistency observable by simply touching them. We live, we learn; wish I didn't have to learn the hard way tho

Wow, what a story. Selling a kitten at 11 weeks... overbreeding the mum... you gotta love some breeders.
Anyway, it must be such a relief for you that the problem can be treated. He's a beautiful kitten BTW - very handsome face on him. What's his name?

Such a shame, for your baby... I am so sorry to read about another breeder going this way, I love you little baby though I am sure he will get the best possible care now xx

His name is Myshkin
We're pretty sure he will have a full recovery, as he will get the proper treatment. So, we're back to the usual "love him, feed him, never leave him" program
Thank you all for the kind words!

That's a good name... I like it.
No doubt with all the TLC he'll get from you he will be right as rain.
