Oh Angie so sorry this is happening but sometimes it is for the best - our 3 legged hooligan Maverick sends special headbutts for Mog and says 3 legs makes you very special :hug: :hug:

 :'( :'( Poor Mog doesn't deserve this. Have his owners  bothered to try and make contact after handing him over, even just to see hows hes doing? Sending lots of healing vibes and hope his operation goes well  :hug: :hug:

Not really much to update.
Mog is still the same. He has been losing weight but then was a beefy cat so it may do some good when it comes to having to build his leg up.
He didn't eat much yesterday so I went out and bought an Argos value hand blender (all of £4-87 or something) and today mushed up a sachet of food and he promptly ate most of it up.

Vet visit still on for wednesday (when I take the tabby boys as well to get the  :sick: odour control done (the other one has come back and is awaiting collection!)).

Mogs is pretty much the same today. He had half of his AD brekkie (with metacam), licked a bit of liquivite, licked the water off some boiled cod fillet, and maybe crunched a couple of biscuits.

I also tried him with some tinned tuna and again he mainly lapped up the liquid. This also prompted me to sort out the last 30 tins of tuna in the bin, 3 had blown and the rest are now washed and stored in a cupboard. My utility room now reminds me of my teenage years living in Folkestone (those bits I can remember through the haze of time, alcohol and other things  :rofl:) ......

So he is getting some nutrition in.

We know he can see something, but I'm not convinced his eyes are that good. I tried playing with a bright yellow feather on a stick toy, and though he watched the movement it didn't register as much in the lower part of his sight. It also confused him a bit and he gave off a nervous miaow.  Only time will tell as its two weeks tonight since his RTA.

Judith is picking up Mog as I type. My car is poorly.

Vet thinks he was in pain and this was stopping him eating. The nurses have been hand feeding him AD today.
He needed a couple of stitches as something had split open  :sick: - I tried not to take in too much detail  :rofl:
how can I be so squeamish?

He is sporting a nice new dressing, though I have yet to see what colour and this will need doing again next week or maybe not be replaced depending on how things are.

I'll try him with some more chicken and if not AD and update later.

Mog has not eaten today and I took him to the vet this afternoon. No temperature but I think he is in a lot of pain at the moment. He hissed at vets when he was being moved and refuses to put any weight on the leg at all.
hopefully tomorrows visit to redo the dressing/splint will make him feel better, or at least the sedation will.

Mog is doing OK. Bandage has survived the weekend. Redress on wednesday and at the weekend I may set up a pen in the living room for him.... jury's out at the moment on that.

Can't seem to wean him off the AD diet mind you.........

Mog is getting even more responsive and has been purring today. He must be more comfortable now his leg has been pinned and splinted.

Sorry such a busy day yesterday - no time to update.

Mog went in to have his legged pinned yesterday. Just got back from his check up and things are fine.
He will need to go in for another change on Wednesday - or before if he looks uncomfortable.
