My cat is in the hospital :(

I am so upset right now. Sammi's tail was hanging lifeless like this morning at 5am and I called my usual vet and his machine says he is open at 10am so I googled and found Elmherst Animal Clinic on Queens Blvd (24/7) and cabbed it to there. The vet spoke about possible amputation of the tail if it was broken but an x-ray and a shave proved that his tail was bitten by another cat (not broken). The vet also said that he was not sure if the infection spread to his spine (praying!!) so they are keeping him for the day to administer antibiotics and painkillers. I hope he pulls through.

I feel so guilty because he must have been escaping through one of the windows that doesnt close. This evening we will have to board up those windows that have any possibility of escape, until we can afford to change them (I think its just two windows). He was never an outdoor cat when we had our apartment, and its all my fault for getting a house with broken windows and stuff. I just hope he gets to come back home. He is such a good cat. One of the best I have ever had. I am broke as ever of course with all those vet bills but he is so worth it. I am just so sad. Crying

Thanks for allowing me to just get that out.

  • ooh Karllen...my heart is broken for you. I love Sammi as much as my kitties and I never even met him. =( I can't believe this happened to him and pray for him to get better as soon as possible. Give me a call when you can...I'd love to know how he is doing as soon as you get word. You and Sammi are in my thoughts and prayers!

  • Poor poor Sammi!  I hope he pulls through!
  • P.S. Don't feel guilty about letting him go out...you thought that that was making him happy. You live and learn.

  • Thanks for the thoughts and prayers everybody. You are right, Bonnie. You live and learn. We did barricade the windows but he always found a way to go out...and I was kinda naive thinking that he had a yard and that he would be fine and since he wasn't an outdoorsy cat to begin with, he would not venture far. But one step out the door is too far! I just called the vet, they said he is looking ok so far. Thanks for your support again ladies. I am trying to hang in there at work.

  • Thanks again ladies. I just spoke to the Vet Tech there. She said that I can come and pick him up after work. DH was supposed to drive there so we could pick him up together later, but he just found out he is working a double shift, so I am gonna have to take him on the train. I hope it doesnt rattle him too much. I will pick him up a bit after the rush hour.

    Thanks for your concerns. I will let you know how he is doing once I see him.

  • I'm so glad you can pick him up. It'll feel so good to have him home and safe.

  • I'm so glad to hear he is doing ok and that he gets to go home. If the weather wasn't so bad, I would have driven out there to pick him up for you...I feel bad you have to take him on the train. Just hold him close to you in the carrier so he knows you're near. Poor little guy...
