If his jaw is hanging down, it is probably dislocated or broken. Poor baby!
I'm glad to hear he's still with you, though... don't let him fall asleep too deeply or run off and hide. You don't have too much longer to go....

Keep us posted for sure! He is a very handsome kitty. Give his little head a kiss for me.

I gave you a band-aid for the sweetheart.

I couldn't tell from the pic that his jaw was hanging... Let's hope that it is only either too sore for him to hold in the proper position, or dislocated, not broken! I have to go to bed now... But I am sending a prayer for AJ and you as I type this!

Quick Little Note: When you post, to the right of your name, it lists your location, posts, points, bank, etc. There's a little band-aid icon there, you should be able to see it.
Still praying for the little fella... I know how heart-breaking it can be to see them suffer so long. Once I stayed from 12:30 at night, walking my horse when he had colic, then driving 2 hours to the vet. Blowing kisses, sending prayers, and wishing health over to your baby...

Aw, he's gorgeous! And Rufus was, too.

The gift you were sent is on the right side of your posts, under join date and location. I'm logging off now, too, but will check first thing in the morning for an update!

Thanks

I will keep you updated, as for the gift, well, I get 'You do not have enough points to perform this action.'
It's not important right now, but maybe we can discuss that another time.
He is still sleeping, just tried to clean himself.
Poor thing couldn't so I tried.

I just finished reading through all the posts....how are you holding up? Poor AJ...bless his heart.
I can't even begin to imagine what you are feeling, but I know I would be doing the same thing you are. I hope that the injuries are only minor and that there are no internal injuries. Keep us posted.

Sending lots of healing vibes to you and AJ. He sure is a sweetie. It looks like a lot of people have read your posts and are pulling for you. Please do let us know how things go at the vet.

I am tired, AJ seems OK, I just tried to look at his mouth a bit more and he made a dissaproving sound, so I let it be.
Thanks for the gifts guys, I am still not sure what they are, are they like 'get well soon cards' ?
Whatever they are, thank you

AJ is sleeping again.

The gifts can be given for any reason, stress, illness, happiness, friendship, anything and every reason you could thing of, but in your case, yes, they are only wishes for the best in AJ's case. How much longer do you have till the vet opens?

Thanks for clarifying Duchess, that's quite amazing, thank you all

The vet opens in 3 hours or so, it's 5.44 AM here, but who cares, I need to know the little guy will be OK.
He has chilled out on my lap all night, and I have tried to annoy him just enough to make sure he doesn't fall into a deep sleep (tickling his belly seemed to work best).
At the moment, he is OK, I think he will be fine, thank god.
Thank you all so much, don't know what I would have done tbh without the chance to vent on here!

Do you have a syringe that you could fill with water to at least keep him hydrated with water? I know that the one side of the chin is damaged and don't know how agitated it will make him if you try to give him some water. It might not be the best idea for now, but yes, make sure he doesn't fall into a deep sleep. Do you have a blanket you could wrap him in? That might make him feel more secure and calm him a bit more.

Wow, New York people are in my internet!
OK, so I am reeealy tired, what do you guys think about this for a plan?
1) Put AJ in his cat box
2) Let AJ sleep on my bed

Or I am in for the long haul of staying awake?
I am so so tired, but I will put him first of course.
