There is a Yahoo group specifically offering support for
people with FCKS kittens. The group is moderated to keep it
relevant, but you can apply to join by following this link, clicking on
the 'join this group' button on the page you reach,

There are no available veterinary studies on FCKS, but
humans also suffer from this condition, and Pectus
Excavatum, and there are a number of very revealing sites.
The most useful one we have found links the condition to
Rickets, and is very well worth consulting. You can get to
it here: CTDS information. Check out the
link to PE and Rickets, and the one to Zinc, which we
feel is very relevant to FCKS.
Max's house - an excellent
veterinary-driven site with superb information about
nutrition and many veterinary conditions. The section on Tuna nutritional values is particularly useful in
reference to zinc and other vitamins identified as
possibly relevant to FCKS
Information about a kitten who had surgery to correct
pectus excavatum can be had here, with the veterinary
information here. The owner says the only thing
they would change would be the frequency of bandage
changes - this needed to be done more often. There are
other sites about pectus surgery on cats where you can
direct your veterinary surgeon, and you can find them
by searching on google for 'pectus excavatum cat
surgery'.
