Prayers needed for a little stray
Last night I lost my heart. To a tiny half-starved brown tabby stray
cat. He came to me via a rescue group in Cardiff who had begged me to look after him as a favor. The person dropping him off with me said that he had been caught on a notorious farm scavenging and existence in a feral colony there. He had walked up to the trapper and meowed, and had been caught. He is skin and bones. But that's not the story. He spent yesterday in the vet, alledgedly being neutered. Last night, he was dropped off to me, with the imortal words "he smells of wee a bit, and is wet and dirty and he needs a bath". I decided to leave him quietly, and fed him, leaving him for the night. This morning, he had peed in his bed - badly. I thought that he just had litter box issues, and then I examined him. His tail is so badly damaged, it's paralysed. He can't move it or feel anything. He can't control his bladder - he's permanently wet. It's not a new injury. It is *SO* not a new injury. I took him back to the vet this evening and saw the senior partner, who is going to x-ray his spine and check him out. I have no confidence, but my hands are tied at the moment with this vets staff. You might say that I wasn't diplomatic with the way I pointed out that her staff should have noticed what was going on yesterday. Please pray hard and send whatever purrs you can that this little chap will be OK. He doesn't even have a proper name yet, even though his forever home is lined up with me, HRFL Tiger and Pandora if he makes it through this. I can't believe I'm so utterly gutted over the fate of a scraggy stray with no name, who I've only known for 12 hours. Please send whatever well wishes you can. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

I'm sending purrs and prayers for the little lad. It sounds like he might have been run over, and dragged down the road, this can cause the injuries you described. I had a colleague whose cat this happened to. At first he couldn't empty his bladder at all, had to be taken to the vets 2/24 to have it done, and then he became incontinent. After many months, and he had to be confined in a cage for some of this time, he completely recovered. He had to have his tail amputated. Don't give up hope. It might be possible that it could be done, just like my colleagues cat. She nearly gave up once or twice because progress was so slow. I persuaded her not to give up, but she agonised about it. The cat is perfectly well now, can control his bladder but has no tail, so what? Vino doesn't have a tail either. He is *such* a love bug. I could stroke him and stroke him when he's so proud of his bananas. Tweed |
