My poor George has ruptured his cruciate ligament in his back right leg.
We came back from being away for the night to find him limping, so we headed off to the after hours vet. $150 to be told to go back go the vet mid week. So back again last Wednesday, another $80 to be told to come back today. So today they sedated him so they could get a proper feel for what was going on without him tensing him muscles.
He will get surgery on Wednesday, then it's 4-5 weeks of cage rest. Poor thing, he's going to go mental. He's an outdoor cat who loves inside at night.
Sasha and I had a bit of a cry this afternoon as we were discussing the options for him. Hubby bless him, said he never considered any other option, ie amputation. The op is going to be between $900-$1200.
