cat owners, i need your advice.

[youdsy]

my cat came home sat afternoon and he must have been in a fight. his tail is broken by the looks of it and i can seen flesh/skin whatever.

he cant walk downstairs properly as it puts him in a lot of discomfort.

as the vets not open. what can i do?

will he be alright till tomorrow?

 

[phonemonkey]

Let me get that straight. He's been injured on Sat, and youre only now asking how you can get him treated?

Are you for real??

 

[Diagro]

Wrap him up in a towl. Feed him and give him a hug after a bath or low pressure shower

 

[dbmzk1]

The vet will be open, call them and they will have an emergency number you can ring

ive been out since Saturday. my mothers been here keeping an eye on him.

hes eating etc.

There will be some kind of emergency number you can use from your vet in these situations, get on that asap.

 

[covenantuk]

Take him to the vet immediately.

If he's having trouble walking it's entirely possible he got hit by a car. In most car accidents most cats don't get run over, they get a glancing blow causing fractures or internal injury.

Cats are VERY good an enduring pain without showing too much outward sign. The fact he's eating is irrelevant, take him to the vet.

hes definitely been fighting. has claws are blunt and hes got bald patch above right eye.

Call the vet, there will be an emergency number. Most animals will try to hide how badly they are actually hurt. If it were mine money would not even be an issue, I would want to make sure my cat was OK tbh. Has happened to me before, and on a bank holiday it will cost a fair bit, but that is part of the deal unfortunately when you get a pet.

 

[youdsy]

hes sleeping under bed atm and his back legs are shaking twitching.

advice given, don't think there's anything more people can add without this becoming a "medical" thread, so am closing it. Speak to the vet please for additional advice
