My cat Jinxy went missing for over 24hrs this week, I eventually found her on one of my sweeps of the neighbourhood. I took her immediately to the vets, she was basically suffering from hypothermia and was very close to death. The excellent treatment she received meant she survived. The next day she was x-rayed because she was very reluctant to stand on her rear legs. It was found that where her pelvis met her spine was torn away. The vet has said this is not something they would normally be able to treat.
At the moment she is unable to pass urine or go for a number 2. Pre examination and x-ray she was showing contraction of her anus but this was not apparent post examination. The vet is hoping that this is something which has been aggravated by the examination and will come back.
Obviously it is early days and hopefully Jinx will make a full recovery. Has anybody had a similar experience and if so, can you give me any advice or tips on how to help Jinx in her recovery. She is still in the vet hospital and the vet would prefer to keep her there, which I think is the best thing for her at the moment.
Many thanks
Dave
