Frodo is back. See post under "I ran over Frodo" - he is slightly
injured and in pain, but inside. He can't eat well so figure he has
jaw issues. face is swollen but body seems okay. Not going
to do much but sleep tonight. May rain here... glad all my
cats are inside, letting the wild boy outside now... (Grey Intruder)
so he can agitate the others inside, LOL. NO, really he has been
in for days so this will give him run time before he has to go in
for many many long days...

Over the river and through the woods...


Hon, I'm SO happy to hear Frodo came back! I was thinking about him all day but didn't get a chance to check until now. You probably want to take him to the vet as soon as you can. If something did happen to his jaw, it should get looked at.

But many "get well " being sent out to Frodo!

I'm glad to hear your boy is home. I hope he's not hurt badly -- of course you'll have him checked out ASAP. What a relief it must be to have him home.

Yeah *of course* (eye rolling here) I'm getting him checked by vet!

I'm not a cat
horder, LOL. Well not much any way....

He can't smell he needs his eye and jaw and face examined,
xrays, hydration and IV food, anti inflamatories and antibios

He will be overnight at the vet and not come back till Saturday
most likely, and I am fine with that. I need vibes to get in
a carrier however as he is a semi feral boy and is afraid of carriers....

If we have to have jaw surgery, then would have done when
I return from my trip.

Unfortunately going to the DAKS on Friday, so I will be gone
10 days. I am absolutely OVERJOYED he came back and
was found before I left.

And, my pet sitter is EXTREMELY competent so no fears
on that front. They have my vet permission to take
him in if Chris feels it is needed... while I am away.

Chris will pick up from vets on Saturday discharge.

All should be well with Frodo, but all, please cross
fingers and pray for him and a speedy recovery with
no loss of eye or anything like that...

(My major worries are his eye being damaged, his
jaw fractured and his nasal passages ruined) other
wise not too damaged.

I had to get animal control to come and catch frodo as he went under bed and I could not get him. They used a net, but they made me feel terrible!
Like I was a criminal - they didn't believe me they (my cats I mean) all have rabies vccines, and I hate that whole "how many animals do you have?" routine - they make you feel
like your crazy for having more than 4!!

GRRR pet peeve. I don't do well with people questioning me,
and as a person who works with the public, I understand...
but geesh. Here's what you do, I need to know which cats
you have indoor and out and their rabies status - to protect us both.

Next, lets go look at the cat.

Anyway, he is at th vets, and prelims look good. Maybe a
broken jaw we don't know. Needs anti bios, hydration
pain meds anti inflams and x rays. Apres Xrays
we will know more. Possible ribs fracture, but
it doesn't look too bad per vet about that. He seems
to be moving fine, and the only other issue is his blader,
if it is intact... which I think it is.

Surgery would have to be done somewhere else, so
if its minor I will skip surgery.

I am soooo happy for you!!!

When you put him to the crate, just tell him inside his mind that crate is safe place and visualize where he is going. Just try to send message to him that he is going to the place where his injury is treated and he IS COMING HOME. Just visualize the image of brining him home, him coming out the car and going through the door way to come to the room. That would make him know what will be happening.

How did you come home? Did you find him somewhere? Or he just walked home?
I would like to know!!

Hope he gets well soon!

Kazy - he showed up on his own. At the front door, waiting to get in.
He knew I was looking, heard me in the sewers. He was going to
his "safe place" the house...

Lets hope he stays in!! Am baby gating my deck stairs - so my old boy
Diablo cannot get out to lie under cars while I am away... one less thing
for me to worry about. He seems unable to not lie under cars!!!

All the cats except Diablo go over the fence.

Well I knew you were going to take him to the vet but we are cat fanatics here we can't help ourselves from being pushy.

Poor little Frodo. I feel for him. He must be exhausted. What I think is so cool is that he knew he needed to get to you. I think he sensed your despair.
I also know how connected you are to him.

Your vacation comes just in time. You will need that R and R.
