Was away all day yesterday but worried about Ember as she hadn't appeared in the morning as usual. Got home to find out she'd not been seen all day.

Woke up early and went straight out to look for her. Found her under a hedge in the garden. I knew there was something wrong as soon as I saw her. Had to crawl under the hedge to get her out.

Looks like she may have either dislocated her hip or fractured her pelvis. I had to rush her to an emergency vet and let's just say that all my savings are now gone.

Have to call the vets in a min to find out what the xrays have shown.

Oh no

I hope she isn't too badly hurt and that she heals quickly

*hugs*

lostkat · 31-08-2008, 13:55

Oh bloody hell

Hope she's alright.

Lynnie_pitch nee Leigh · 31-08-2008, 14:26

Oh know

fingers crossed she is ok xx

Her hip was dislocated and has now been put back. She is in a back leg sling and will have to be caged until her leg has set properly.

She's such a lovely thing that she purred all the way through the examination so loudly that the vet couldn't hear her heart properly.

I'm allowed to take her home at 6pm. If the staff let me as they say she's gorgeous and all love her.

Poor little bab. Hopefully she'll be alright now. It's awful when little fluffy cuddley things get ill.

My heart just dropped when I saw her under the hedge. We both came out covered in sticky buds! I was still picking them out of my hair when I got back from the vets.

I'll take a pic of the casualty later. She hasn't stopped purring yet apparently.

Aww poor mite. Any indication what could have been the cause? A car? Another cat? Falling off something?
I find if I'm looking at wounds/giving med/etc on the rats they always hide on my shoulder even if there are more sensible "away from the nasty woman" places to go and hide.

At first the vet thought she may have been shaken by a dog as there isn't much splintering of her claws which normally accompanies a car bump. Then we found a small wound on her other back foot which the vet thought may have been a cat bite. The sking around the injured hip is black with bruising so she must have been either hiding out in shock for the last 24 hours or making her way home slowly on one back leg.

So we don't really know. Could have been a cat fight, could have been a car or could have caught her leg and dislocated her hip getting free.
