Kitten with no pee hole and no tail.

Hi there,



It sounds like you’re describing a condition that might be related to a birth defect in your kitten. It’s concerning that your kitten seems to have no visible pee hole. Typically, kittens eliminate urine through their urethra, located under the tail, near the anus. In some rare cases, kittens can be born with a condition called “atresia” where certain openings, like the urethra, are partially or completely blocked or missing. Additionally, the absence of a tail could be associated with a genetic condition such as Manx syndrome or other developmental abnormalities.



Right now, it’s important to keep your kitten comfortable. Ensure they have a clean, quiet, and stress-free environment. Monitor your kitten closely for signs they may be uncomfortable or in distress, like crying more than usual, straining without success, or a swollen belly.



If your kitten can’t urinate, it’s crucial to seek veterinary help immediately, as this can quickly become life-threatening. Also, observe for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels.



I recommend setting up a video consult through Dial A Vet as soon as possible. This way, a licensed veterinarian can assess your kitten’s specific situation and guide you on the next best steps to ensure their health and well-being.
