Poor girl....
But cats are tough.
She made it home, and she will pull through!!
Our Pinkie, my childhood cat, came home like that when I was 7 or 8, he badly hurt his hind legs and couldn't stand on them at all, but he healed very well. He tended to misjudge the strength of his hind paws after the accident, he never became quite as strong as before, but that was all.

She is in good hands, and she'll be fine, you will see.....

Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on September 12, 2011, 17:59:19 PM
You are right they are bloomin expensive but your vet maybe able to loan you one, but of course she may not need one but your vet will advise  :hug: :hug: :hug:

Poor Chiana, hopefully when the sling is reapplied her foot won't swell again. Bet she is getting lots of fuss by the nurses. Are you able to visit her or do they not allow it?  :hug: :hug:
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 13, 2011, 23:04:03 PM
they might allow it as i used to volunteer with them but id have to get 2 buses to get there and well the money that id be spending on bus ticket needs to go towards the vet bill
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets

Sending lots of good wishes to Chiana  :hug: :hug: :hug:
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 13, 2011, 23:42:09 PM
i wish i still volunteered there but the cost of getting there is just too much to make on a constant basis
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 14, 2011, 17:03:30 PM
spoken to the vets again shes gotta stay in atleast 1 more night  :( im missing my girly without her salem is well i cant put it politely as much as i love him hes annoying the hell outta me i know its cause hes missing her
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Jiji on September 14, 2011, 18:48:42 PM
You must both be missing her  :hug:  but better she spends an extra night or two at the vets than has to go back because they have let her out sooner than they should. Hope Salem settles down a bit for you  :hug:
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets

Agree with Jiji  :hug: :hug:
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 14, 2011, 22:38:26 PM
i hope salem calms down aswell but think its all bit much for him hes barely gotten over riff passing away
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 16, 2011, 20:51:10 PM
shes home but the problem she does need cage rest and i dont have one apparently if it comes out again itll mean an expensive op that the rspca cant afford to do so if anyone lives in the manchester area and can lend me one id appreciate it greatly at the moment the solution has been to tie the 2 large carriers i have together and shes really not liking it
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Liz on September 16, 2011, 21:27:29 PM
Try contacting your local CP and see if they can lend you a pen or a large dog crate would do at a push

 :get well:  healing vibes for Chiana 

hope you find a cage somewhere
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 16, 2011, 21:51:49 PM
someone in flixton are might have one for me my sister got in contact with her through freegle she says she will need it back but thats fine aslong as chiana gets enough rest and heals
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets: Shes Home
Post by: Kally on September 16, 2011, 21:53:39 PM
but think for future when i get some pennies in i might buy one for just in case
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on September 17, 2011, 02:59:00 AM
I hope you get the cage on loan cos it will make a lot of difference, she probably still wont like it but its the best for her.......wish I was closer cos could lend you one cos Ducha was on cage rest in Jan /feb cos he broke a wrist.

Sending lots of good vibes  :hug: :hug:

You could always keep your eye on the free ad sites etc.
 
Pleased Chiana is back home with you and once you have the loan of a cage hopefully it won't be long until she is back to her usual self  :hug:

salem keeps being really cute and sitting on top of one of the carriers and it seems to calm her down
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Jiji on September 17, 2011, 11:31:35 AM
Bless him, he is probably so glad to have her back  :)
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 17, 2011, 12:45:35 PM
got her in the cage now its a little cramped for her but its better than the carriers tied together
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on September 17, 2011, 12:54:48 PM
How long does she need to be in the cage?
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets

Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on September 17, 2011, 13:06:54 PM
She is just gorgeous and hope she doesnt have to be cage rested too long  :hug: :hug:
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 17, 2011, 14:25:08 PM
next to the cage is a really old hostess trolley that i was thinking about eventually turning into a scratch pos and salem has got on the pillow on the lower shelf and gone to sleep right next to chiana  :Luv:
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Jiji on September 17, 2011, 14:30:59 PM
What a beautiful girl  :Luv:  so glad you were able to borrow a cage and as Gill says hopefully she will not be on cage rest for too long  :hug:
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 17, 2011, 14:52:24 PM
i always appreciate comments on how beautiful she is lol ive always felt shes got quite striking colouring and have to say she came from a very beautiful litter
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Liz on September 17, 2011, 15:45:41 PM
I used the clip on water bowls from the cat carry boxes on my cratesm gives some more space and stops them treading in it making more mess, my other comment would be a lot less litter in the tray, as its a sod to clean up and gets every where, also I use a hooded bed takes up less space than the blanket and gives more cage space

Its usually about 6 7 weeks cage rest when this type of things happen
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 17, 2011, 16:06:57 PM
i havent got the money for all those things though and tbh even though it looks like a lot of litter its just a small layer of litter its just when i was putting it in the it tilted and gathered all at one side im sure she will do fine atleast for the moment
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets

Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets

just thought id give an update chiana is doing ok  shes gotta go bk to the vets on friday salem has been stealing chianas food through the bars and today chiana decided to get her own bk and start hitting him through the bars whilst salem was watching me eat biscuits
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on September 21, 2011, 20:25:54 PM
Sounds like they still love each other  :evillaugh:

Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 21, 2011, 21:17:16 PM
the thing im more worried about is the bus journeys there and back cause cant get anyone to give me a lift im just concerned shes going to get jolted on the bus
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Jiji on September 21, 2011, 22:25:46 PM
Naughty Salem pinching Chiana's food  :evillaugh:  It's good to hear she is doing well and hopefully the bus journey won't be too bad, if she will just lay down she should be ok I think  :hug:
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on September 22, 2011, 00:30:15 AM
I think that she should be safe in her carrier as surely not too much room for her to be jolted.........if there is loads of room maybe you need to make it a bit smaller wirg blankets.
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 22, 2011, 11:09:26 AM
i might make it bit smaller by putting a pillow in there
Title: Re: I had to rush to the vets
Post by: Kally on September 24, 2011, 14:28:17 PM
another update the vet checked her over and said her hip is healing nicely and she can come out of the cage for light exercise and in about 4 weeks she can come out of it completely and she doesnt need to go bk to the vets apart from for her boosters

well ive been letting chiana out of the cage for light exercise the only problem is chiana doesnt know the meaning of light exercise shes been bouncing from one piece of furniture to another ive also done something in memory of my riffster i have an almost completely hollowed out log out back and i put his old collar and some tulip bulbs in there cause they should bloom around his birthday and around the time he passed away my neighbour also found his old old collar that he lost last december so i put that in there as well

Hope your kitty makes a full recovery.As to the windows,a cheap solution is to get some thin chain from the hardware store,cut into 6 inch lengths & attatch to the window & the frame.I've done this to all my windows.

its funny u should suggest that cause i talked something similar through with my housing and they said i will incur a fine for doing that  :( as i don't have permission for it and i asked about getting permission and they said there isnt a way to get permission for something like that :( most of the time which ever room i have the window open i keep the door closed so she cant get in there anyway
