rta - my billie has a broken pelvis

[Ralph's mum (angie)]

Any news on Billy,  Hope you are both ok 

[woodlandcats]

Please don't panic.
I might have told the story here already but here I go again. My cat fell from the 4th floor and had a broken pelvis.
I was advised to keep her in a box for 3 months (!). I consulted another vet who X-rayd and said I should leave it be. Two days later, she was running again!!
All depends on the fracture.
I send lots of vibes and hope Billie will be as lucky as Tiffany was.
Keep up the faith!

Hi Jane,

Sorry to hear about Billie's accident ..... can't offer any advice just a great big   for you until it's time to go to the vet.  Once you have more details on Billie's injuries from the vet please post back as there are lots of people who will be able to offer you advice.

Take care and fingers crossed Billie makes a spedy recovery.

BTW ... good idea to take his favourite blanket in it will help him to feel a bit better if he can smell "home" smells

Positive vibes for you 3pm appointment~~~~~Chin up hun!

Hello Jane and    to Purrs

So sorry about Billy's accident

Good luck with your appointment at 3 pm  -  I hope that you hear some good news then

thanks for such a quick response, i called but i was told i need to see the vet at 3 as the nurse can only give certain info.

she said he will probably make it, but their may be more damage done... the xrays only concluded a broken pelvis.

poor little mite, i will take his favourite blanket this arvo.. sigh

Sorry to hear that Billie has been in an accident, I'd call the vets again to see if they can tell you exactly what's happening now.  Presumably they will have done xrays etc?

[Kay and Penny]

might the 'touch and go' refer only to the possibility of losing a leg or his tail?

I think you should ring the vets right away and ask how he is, and make sure you understand the answer

[Angiew]

sorry, it must be hard for you and I can't really help. I suppose they may still be assessing his injuries as there may be other damage apart from broken bones but only your vet can tell you.
Is Billie a good patient?

[JANEBOZ]

hi

please can someone help  - yesterday my billie was run over, i heard it when i was in the garden thank god, we rushed him to the vets

now this is where i am shocked and confused.

a) on assesment i was told he would definately lose a leg and or possibly his tail - but they will call me
b) got a phone call at 2pm saying he wont lose a leg, but still might lose a tail...  come and pick him up tomorrow ( ie today) and give him cage rest for 4- 6 weeks.
c) called vets this mroning to see what time i could pick him and was told.. its still touch and go possibly monday now, he had ot have another 2 pain killer injections.

now i am not faulting the vets they have been superb,,,  i am a little confused as to why the story keeps changing and "touch and go " to me means he might make it, he might not.

i am in tears constantly at work... roll on 3pm when i am allowed to visit him for 10 minutes.
