Hello everyone. I'm new here and this is my first post.
Two days ago around 9:30 p.m. my boyfriend and I found an injured kitten in a parking lot. It was dragging its back legs so we figured it had been hit by a car. We took her to an emergency vet where it was determined she should have surgery to fix the fractures in her pelvis. The surgery was done and she seemed to be doing better; they say she is eating and drinking. However her kidneys are not functioning properly. This is most likely from her accident. The dr said she was pretty bruised and that it's possible for the kidneys to improve, but as it is she has an electrolyte imbalance and the kidneys are not working as they should. At this point it's just a waiting game, but I was wondering if anyone had been a similar situation? I would hate to lose her after all this and be left with an outrageous vet bill with nothing to show for it.
She is probably about 8-12 weeks old and too small for dialysis if she really starts to decline. Please send good vibes my way!
