Cats sustain injuries from motorcycle accidents

“My cat fell from a fourth-floor balcony on Wednesday and was immediately taken to a clinic for assessment. He was, and still is, able to walk, but very slowly and with his hindquarters crouched low. He has an obvious dent at the base of his spine, and from above, his spine appears to have a slight curve. At the clinic, he was taken back for X-rays, and according to the doctors and radiologists, nothing concerning showed up. The doctor I spoke with on Wednesday suggested an MRI to check for an oc”

“I found my cat under the house this morning with a bullet wound in his back. I took him to the vet and got pain meds, as well as oral and topical antibiotics. We are home now. I don't remember the vet saying they gave him pain meds, I don't want to give him more and accidentally overdose the poor hurtin lil guy. I called the vet, am actually still on hold. However they closed at 5:30. It's 5:37 now and I think they forgot me.. Please help me help my sweet lil kitty boy. submitt”

“vet is currently closed. we were going to call tomorrow morning first thing , but should we go to the emergency? i feel so worried for her. shes 1.5 years old she was found outside last september. she had an X-ray done last December. when we found her, her hips were kind of pointed outward. we went to see two vets, one said it was maybe an accident by car, and the other (who did the actual scan) they said it was something we would monitor yearly . they discovered (and apologies for not knowing t”

“I got in a pretty bad accident after a vet visit this Monday. My cat was in the carrier, luckily on pain medication. Although, he still seems very shocked. I currently cannot afford more vet bills but the cage did flip upside down. (Plastic dog carrier because hes a very large cat). Should I take him back to the vet and pay upfront? Or what is the best corse of action? I have never been in a accident before, the people who crashed into me. Where very rude, avoiding me, and left as soon as possib”

“I'm not looking for medical advice. I've talked to my vet. I'm not in vet med though. My 2 year old cat Beanie had x-rays done yesterday and surprise! One of her hips is dislocated and from the looks of the cup that holds the femoral head, it's probably been dislocated since she was a baby. The cup is not really a cup. We noticed since she was little she would occasionally take a step and the leg wouldn't support her for a few seconds and she doesn't really run or jump. B”

“Hey my cat had a burn type injury (assumption) cuz the would was wet and not bloody but now he's contantly licking and biting there it has gotten worse and blood is coming can pls help if you know something we can't take him to vet it's too expensive for submitted by /u/being_lucid [link] [comments]”

“My cat was unfortunately run over by a car today. He is in excruciating pain, crying whenever he tries to move, and his back legs/lower body seem paralyzed or severely injured. Animal doctors are extremely scarce in my area, making immediate physical emergency care very difficult right now. I managed to get some scans done through my brothers help. Local hospitals don't allow animals. Can any veterinary professionals help me what I can do? i have the scans too, but i think i can't upload”

“Almost a month ago i rushed an 1 vear old cat who just got hit by a car to the vet, he is blind and has a pretty weak sense of smell (he has gained some of it back since the accident), cannot close his mouth properly (cause he lost 2 canine teeth and had his jaw reconstructed) and i would need some advice on how to help him further with things like using a litter box, etc. While he has done quite significant progress since the accident, like eating on his own, washing himself, finding his bed wh”

“Hi! Not a medical emergency per se, but just stressed. TL;DR Cat got freaked out and broke several claws on each of her rear paws down to the quick while outside. Persistent oozy bleeding; I cleaned her paws as best I could and dunked them in light saline water; she has been lethargic and subdued all day but I imagine that is to be expected. Just looking for reassurance or advice on how best to care for her without insane vet bills as I can't spare a lot of money right now. Early this mornin”

“So I was on my last stop and there was a poor kitty underneath the owner's car and I tried to get it attention but I'm pretty sure the cat was either dying or dead. It look like the fluids were leaking out of it. I tried ringing the doorbell but it didn't ring and it's only 6:30 in the morning should I have knocked and try to get the owner's attention or what would you do in the situation I just felt bad for the cat cuz maybe it could have been saved? submitted by”

“This is my 5 month old kitten he went out and someone did this there are no good surgeon near me... I went to my local govt vet hospital they gave him 2 shots and sent him home...

Cefrox: Appears to resemble an oral antibiotic syrup. Syp. Melax: Appears to be a syrup formulation (often used for digestive or laxative support, depend”

“Hello, I wanted to start off by saying I already feel like a bad cat mom so please don't hate on me. I had gone home after school on Friday September 4 and found that my kitten had ripped some of his fur off. There is a cut by his ear as well. He wasn't bleeding a lot it was just enough to tell there was a cut. I had cleaned it out with water and a tiiiiiny almost non-existent amount of dawn. I have also put a cone on him. I don't know what else to do and I'm afraid of it getting”

“HELP, what to do? got home from uni and found my cat injured outside and possibly hit by a speeding motorcyle. for context, our cat was an outdoor cat and somehow became our own since we feed him. so he was used to be outside, even though i don’t let him out, he finds way. now, he lost tooth and face injured close to eyes. he’s whimpering in pain and it really breaks my heart. i cant even look at him. whenever im beside him he would crawl to my lap desperately. we also dont have money to go to v”
