Poorly Kitty

Had a phone call from OH this afternoon that he was at the vet with Nev, one of our two 18 month old kittehs. Nev was hit by a car and is currently in a critical condition :(:(

He's been x-rayed and scanned and they think he's got a tear in his diaphragm because it appears that there's some intestinal contents where his lungs should be. He's also got a tension pneumothorax but that's the least of his worries :eek:.

A specialist is looking at his x-rays/scans now and there's going to be a decision soon whether he needs surgery tonight or not. We've been told that he may not pull through :cry::cry: if that's the case.

Please can I have all your kitty healing vibes, because I don't know what me, best mate, OH and Splodge (his sister) are going to do without a Nev.

    Just back from vets.

    My darling floofy boy was too badly injured and so we made the hardest decision ever. He was pts at 6.16 (which, bearing in mind we have always said he's half moggy, half norwegian forest cat and half beast of bodmin, is pretty apt).

    I am now being angry at the person who hit him and drove off. And I'm hoping that they've damaged their car (bearing in mind Nev was nearly 7 kg).
