What a horrid week!!
My cat Bella went missing last week. When she was found she had been hit by a car
rushed her to the vet and then got her referred to a vet hospital. Its been so awful not knowing all week how she was going to be. They finally operated on Tuesday. She had to have her right eye removed. She had a fracture on her pelvis that needed a plate to fix. Her lower jaw had to be fixed and rewired. Her upper jaw had lots of fractures she can't chew or the fracture bones might snap into her nose and brain. So she has a feeding tube in for a few more days until they heal and she can eat again. She was hit on saturday or sunday - don't know when because we found her trying to drag herself home on the sunday. She wasn't operated on until the tuesday and she was under anaesthetic for 7 hours. More than twice as long as anticipated. So she was treated as critical for a while after.
Thankfully she seems on the mend now, and will have a perfectly happy life minus the eye but the vets have said she'll adapt and be absolutely fine once she's home. I can't believe she has made it through but I'm so glad she has. Shes a little fighter!
Those who don't have pets sometimes don't understand but she is a member of the family. I honestly sobbed my heart out earlier in the week. I've not been able to think of anything else all week. I was meant to be in London now but had to cancel. Fixing her up has cost a few grand but I don't care, she's worth every penny!!
So I have deffo not had a good week with food. To be honest I have been living off cereal a lot. I know I have gained weight but under the circumstances I really don't care. Hopefully I can get her home tomorrow and start looking after us both again.
