Other forums don't compare to this place. (The last time I asked about dietary stuff in a FB setting I was promptly "diagnosed" as bipolar, and got similar manure dumping. Wait, whut!? I was asking about food!!!). All in all, you know your cat best. The break looks horrible and if he won't take it easy, I kinda think 6 weeks of painkillers and wait-and-see are a waste of time and money. I don't understand why a splint was out of the question, complication-wise, but they must have their reasons? If he keeps jumping on tables and such though... I'd chop it off. Considerably cheaper than getting hardware put in there, and he'd be up and running again in no time at all, able to just be his jumping-on-everything self. (I watch a lot of vet shows and often wonder why they're doing 4.000 pound operations when it can be fixed cheaper and with rather short recovery time. A bum leg that needs physical therapy, or no hinderance at all and just a few weeks of recuperation? But then... I am wired all-or-nothing, and anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt).I will!
Vet visit was yesterday but a rethink will be in order tomorrow.
Not tonight anymore, I posted a question on it on a large facebook group and the amount of manure which has been dumped on me is unbelievable.
So tomorrow is soon enough. Sleep well!
In any case... I hope you'll both get through this stressfull time okay!
Hugs,
Jo, who's off to the vet too this afternoon, because Charlie's got something going on in his mouth. (Blood in his saliva)
