my baby girl(cat of course
somehow got a broken leg the other day. we dont know how but the vet said it does happen for no real reason other than she is still growing, bones are soft and she couldve just moved funny. she is also very very tiny,9 mths looks 4 and the runt of the litter. either way she had surgery today on her back leg as the bone cracked just below her knee and she had to have pins put in it! ouch! it cost us $1000 but she is soooo worth it.we went to see her today and she was a bit tired but overall purred and kissed me and loved me! my problem is this...we have 2 other cats they all get along and love her they play all the time but i guess she has to be kenneled all the time for weeks and weeks so the pins dont come out and if they did she'd have to have it amputated! but i just hope being small and a tad timid if this is going to mentally change her for the worse?? i just dont want her to harm herself so how can i help her adjust? also for pain and love how much can i give her? we pick her up tomm. even thought we have so many pets i miss her SO much!

I would set up a separate recovery room so she can move around without being bothered, and you have somewhere safe to interact with her. And pins are actually a good thing- the leg will be even stronger now. I had a dog break both forelegs and the ortho vet wanted her up and moving the week of the surgery.
