Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004Purrs for
my Cousin's kitten. My Cousin Nicki has a litter of Burmese babies that are a few weeks old, old enough to be climbing, she got home from work a couple of nights ago to find one of the litter with his foot bend backwards, a quick visit to the vet, didn't seem to be broken but was told that she should massage the leg in case the blood flow to the foot had been cut off. Nicki received a phone call from the vet the next day to say that she (the vet) had consulted with another vet and they thought it a good idea for the leg to be x-rayed, she picked him up from the vet last night and was told that the leg is not broken and she will have to keep an eye on it, if it doesn't improve the likely options are amputation or being put to sleep (absolutely the last resort!) Purrs for a quick recovery would be appreciated. Lois > my Cousin's kitten. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Lois Purrs for the kitten. Poor baby! I guess that I'm missing something in the logic here, though. If the leg is not broken, and the paw is not cold to the touch (meaning that the circulation is still going), why would they be wanting to amputate or PTS? Is the joint out of the socket? Can't they fix that? Several years ago we had a d*g who tore the tendon (ligament? it was a long time ago) in her knee, and TED was able to surgically repair the damage. - Denise (owned and manipulated by Brenna) > Purrs for the kitten.

Nicki is continuing with the massaging. Lois >Purrs for the kitten. Poor baby! I guess that I'm missing something in >the logic here, though.

I've told the story before about Tripod, a kitten my great aunt adopted when his previous was going to put him to sleep after his leg was accidently crushed, and amputated. Tripod was a lively cat, up to his teens when he finally slowed down, and lived to be over 20 before leaving for the bridge.
