I'm glad Lulu is on the mend. I hope you're hubby has some broken bones though!

Did anyone mention VETSNOW

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #81 on:** September 16, 2008, 19:36:24 PM »

I'm glad she is a bit better today

One of the reasons I stay with my vets despite the fact that I see a different vet each time (it's a referral centre with the general practice done by interns who are undergoing post grad training) is the emergency care. They provide their own out of hours care and are only 5 mins down the road. They have all the latest equipment and drugs on site as well as experienced vets who do the postgrad training and that gives me so much peace of mind. There is someone there all night and they will stay with a cat providing one to one care if necessary (when Magpie was there, the vet treating him didn't leave his side). I think the general situation nation wide is worrying. An emergency is, by definition, a situation where you need your pet to see a vet quickly and that last thing you need is long drives to out of hours vets and then for them to be moved the next day. If I'd had to do that sort of thing with Magpie when he died 3 years ago, I think he would not have made it as far as the vets.

One of the reasons I will be driving 5 miles to the vet with Kylie tomorrow even though there is a vet next door. When they close, they close. Even with cats & dogs in, the lights go off and that's it. It's a pain getting to my vet and Kylie won't be happy but in the event they need it, they will be looked after 24/7

Poor Lulu, must feel like I do after doing a ballet class for the first time in months (this hasn't happened any time recently but the memories are fresh

), right boody sore and stiff and like you've gone ten rounds with a bus!

Head butts from Chilli and kneads from Dave. Chin rubs from me x

This thread has made me realise that I don't actually know what happens out of hours with my vet. I used to live in Burgess Hill, Sussex, and they were very good there. There were several practices and they had a good emergency system.

I'll have to speak to my vet about this and found out what we do here. Touch wood just never need to use it.

that is the worrying thing, it took me half hour to find a vet then about 40mins to get to the nearest emergency one !

Lulu is so much better today, still walking abit stiff but alot better.
We have an appointment at our vets tomorrow.
She has asked to go out a couple of times today but will wait till she has seen vets and is walking completely better

My cats are normally indoor/outdoor cats but with Dino having the buster collar on at the moment, every other word I seem to say is shut the door and don't let the cat out, so I feel your pain!

Glad to hear you got her back home and hope the stiffness in her legs is starting to ease.

I think both of my Grandaughters first words were 'shut the door'

Mark · « **Reply #73 on:** September 15, 2008, 14:25:34 PM »

Just to rub it in, I managed to run the B&B for 2 years and still managed to keep them in. Basically, I warned everone on pain of death to keep the front door shut and watch none escape when they come in

Sue Paddysmum has a decent sized patio but I've already taken part of it for my OH so not sure if there's enough left for yours too. Just a thought .

and i wouldnt have to pay anyone to do the killing bit as i would like the satisfaction of doing it myself

Yesterday he left the front door open.....I couldnt help myself and said "you wont be happy till their are all dead will you"

He wasnt impressed with my comment and then i let rip with "well its down to you that Lulu got hit"
His excuse is we shouldnt have so many cats !!!!!!!
Well i

manage, I always know who is in and who is out....I know roughly what time i last saw them.....and I manage not to let them out of the front door when i open it !!!

MEN !

Yes I bet she really enjoyed her little outing altho obviously traumatic for you

Like Mark said, let's hope she is alot more wary of the road now. Is Lulu still on metacam?

Ann Clarke (Tabby cat) · « **Reply #70 on:** September 15, 2008, 13:05:19 PM »

I've only just read this as I wasn't online at the weekend. So sorry to hear about Lulu's accident but very pleased to hear she is on the mend.

from me and gentle furry head butts from Dylan and Hobbes to Lulu and of course

to you too.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #69 on:** September 15, 2008, 12:29:32 PM »

Good to hear that Lulu is well and truly on the mend

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #68 on:** September 15, 2008, 11:45:23 AM »

She is alot better and brighter today and is sitting on the window looking out.....but i dont think its a good idea for her to go out just yet, she is still stiff with her back legs.
She has a check up with my vet on wednesday.

I still cant believe what happened, I am just so glad that she is "ok" as i have lost 3 cats to RTA.
It has of course again raised the subject of "indoor cats" ........that was my first thought, "none of them are going out again" BUT i know that is not the answer, they would not be happy to be locked indoors.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #66 on:** September 15, 2008, 06:51:19 AM »

Glad that she is home and safe with you.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #65 on:** September 14, 2008, 17:23:16 PM »

I am so pleased she is back home but she needs to have lots of safe care which I know you will ensure she has

The vet situation at night is really bad and its time for pet owners to stand up and not accept the ridiculous stae we have got to. No idea how we do it though!

Hope that Lulu improves each day to full fitness , am sure the bit of sun felt good to her

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #64 on:** September 14, 2008, 16:57:54 PM »

Just checking in to check up on Lulu - well, I expect she enjoyed her little outing even if it tore your nerves to shreds

Glad she's safe, sound and on the mend

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #63 on:** September 14, 2008, 14:51:53 PM »

Oh my goodness, I didnt log on yesterday - so missed this, so sorry to hear that Lulu has been hurt, but so glad to hear she's on the mend

She is alot brighter today -

Got up and Hubby had let her out in the garden,

Idiot
She is walking but very stiff....at the moment she is sitting in the sun which is probably doing her good.
Just worried that she will go under the fence though

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #56 on:** September 14, 2008, 10:55:38 AM »

Fingers crossed she seems better today

I bet your nerves are in shreds

Having been through the whole horrible RTA situation out of hours I can understand how you feel. Glad to hear there were no really serious injuries and hope you and Lulu both recover with all speed.

What a nightmare. Hopefully she'll feel better after a good rest.
