Cat injured. Hiding under shed :( (update: sadly not a good ending)

[oryx]

Oh no. I'm so sorry.

 

[Mogden]

No good news I'm afraid. Vet has said there is no positive prognosis. Just waiting to go in and be with him for his last moments

Oh Mumbles. Me and the kids send their furry best wishes. So sorry it didn't work out better x

 

[fishfinger]

[bimble]

very sorry to hear your sad news Mumbles274

 

[Sasaferrato]

So sorry to hear this.

 

[miss direct]

Oh no. I'm glad he came out though and you can be with him, at least.

 

[donkyboy]

Oh man.

But is it really necessary they have to put him down? can the leg not be amputated? Or take him to another vet maybe for another opinion?

 

[Mumbles274]

It is what it is. At least it is relatively quick.. He was OK this morning. Will post some nice pics of him later

Go well Bob.

 

[Mumbles274]

Oh man.

But is it really necessary they have to put him down? can the leg not be amputated? Or take him to another vet maybe for another opinion?

No, it was both legs, no pulse in either, no pain reflex.

Just said my goodbyes

 

[farmerbarleymow]

RIP Bob.

You're a good man taking care of him in his last hours.

 

[Cid]

Yes, a friend's cat had the same thing. I'll put in spoilers, but nothing graphic.

Spoiler

As I recall it was a symptom of a major problem caused by heart disease. Isn't really anything to do with legs so much as something preventing blood flow to them, causing the paralysis. Was also very sudden with their cat.

Anyway, very sorry to hear that mumbles.

 

[xsunnysuex]

So sorry. This is sounds like saddle thrombosis. I lost my boy to that. Horrendous thing to go through. This makes me sad!

 

[Ax^]

well at least you found him quickly so he did not suffer for to long cat do love to hind when injured

RIP Bob

Bob was a legend. Here he is looking epic



And some shots from when we first got him until more recently as the gang grew ever bigger. He was the best dad both times we got new kittens too. So patient and gentle when they first arrived and were a little scared



Caring for the kittens Barbara and Belinda

The whole gang

The ginger crew

Sorry for your loss, and so suddenly. Well done for persevering and getting him out, so he didn’t suffer for long. And what a lovely handsome cat. Happy mousing and sweet dreams Bob.

Innit.. Shows him in all his splendor

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Sorry to hear this.

The same happened to one of our old cats. Came down in the morning to fing her unable to more her back legs.

Called the vet in for the same conclusion.

 

[Cloo]

I'm so sorry - they do go and hide somewhere when the end is near. My last cat, Chimneypot, lurked in my wardrobe in her final hours.

 

[smmudge]

Oh no I'm very sorry sleep well bob cat
