Rescued a another kitty the day after Christmas (late Christmas present
). He was smushed in the middle of the highway (poor baby) and I won't go into all the awful details. I didn't really think that he would make it, but he is improving day by day.
Vic named him Comet. He is a black & white tuxedo kitty with lovely green eyes and he purrs like an evinrude. He is turning out to be a real lover, but he still has a long way to go on the road to recovery.
He has a broken, mangled front paw and appears to have some muscular control issues (possibly broken pelvis) and is very weak. He began eating and drinking late yesterday and is peeing, but hasn't pooped yet. He is gaining mobility as time passes by.
Can anyone recommend a really nutrious diet of soft food because his mouth was messed up too with cuts, missing teeth and a broken fang. I am pureeing moist food and adding water and spoon feeding at the moment. How about raw eggs or milk or gravy?
I did take him to the vet, but they said put him to sleep and not mess with him because he wouldn't make it.
But he has already proved them wrong, he is going to make it. He may never be perfect but then again he may not have been perfect before either, but he is alive and loving all the attention that he is getting and will continue to get.
Any advice is welcome.
