Saturday morning my 1 year old cat was hit by a car. My dad found him, luckly straight after it happen. He made it back into our garden. He was breathing heavily in a lot of stock. He tried walking to find a quiet place to hide but as he tried getting up to walking, he just kept flopping down. On the way to the vet he was still alert to what was going on. The vet rang later on that day to let us know there were no broken bone and he seem fine. He just had a little cut on his paw and a cut on his lip, like he had bite it.
It got to just before 8pm at night and we were in our way to pick me up but the vet rang and he had began to go down hill. He had coordination, every time he tried walking his back leg went wobbled and he had to lay down. Also he kept going bossed eyed and couldnt focus. So we left him at the vets over night.
Sunday morning he was still in the same way. The evening come and the vets rang again to let us know how he was etc. the vets told us the he keeps hitting and pawing at his head which is a sign of a head trauma, meaning swelling or a bleed on the brian
Today I popped into the vets to see him and give him lots of cuddle. It was heartbreaking at first to see him laying the wired up to a drip. Straight away he knew how I was purring away as I stoked him. But it seems he has now lost the movement in his back legs, the right more so then the left. He is also not eating apart from alittle bit of meat I gave him.
It's so strange that all these symptoms have began hours after the hit. Im trying so hard stay positive but there is a lot of worried.
