Mumsnet Talk

Poor little Amber, has just been 'delivered' to us by our very caring neighbour who had seen her in the road. She is in a very bad way, jaw completely smashed and not moving. DH on way to emergency vets with her now, I don't expect her to come back. Am v sad.

Oh Natzer, what a shock, i'm sorry..

Not sure if i should ask what the vet has said

Oh no, I am so sorry. Keep us posted and have a stiff drink.

Don't know if it helps, but one of my cats was hit by a car and had a smashed jaw etc aged 1. After a difficult few weeks and lots of wire to hold his jaw together, he survived . He's now 18 and still going strong. Fingers crossed your cat pull through x

really sorry about your poor cat

Oh how sad, I really hope she manages to pull through.

Any news op?

Well considering the state she was in, we thought she wouldn't last the 40min drive to the vets. But she did!
She has had facial reconstruction today as all of her skin around her face was hanging off. The swelling on her brain had gone down by this morning too.

She broke quite a few teeth.

The vets are amazed, she is indestructable!

And, she's coming home tomorrow.

We had just bought a chicken coop and run, but we are waiting until mid September to get them, so Amber can stay in there during the day and dog crate over night.

Thanks

What brilliant news, a few lives left then?

Thats fab news OP well done amber cat! Did the driver not stop? So glad she is a super cat!

The driver didn't stop[envy, luckily my neighbour across the road saw her, picked her up and brought her to us.

Really lucky as someone could have driven over her, she was in the middle of the road.

Oh, and I found out I'm not insured (long story ) so now we are very very poor!

Bastard. My cat was killed a while back and no one stopped.

The driver didn't stop for my poor boy either.
Get well soon puss cat.

Oh I'm so so pleased Natzer!

No, the driver didn't stop for my gentleman cat either and i know they saw him These drivers are real cowardly wankers..

At least Amber has got through, please give her a cuddle from us when she gets home!

natzer at absolute bastard driver! How can anyone be so callous when i was 7 my mum hit a cat who was killed instantly, she then knocked doors every evening for almost 3 weeks to find the owner and apologise! Good on your lovely neighbour

Hope pusscat makes a full recovery! And hope perhaps you can sort the insurance?

Glad Amber is doing ok.

When this happened to my cat he got pretty distressed because he couldn't groom himself (and he absolutely stank). It might be worth getting some cat cleaning wipes, a soft brush and covering the sofa etc

Thanks for the warning madness I will have a look into that, she will stay in the crate for the first week, Its quite big and we will make sure she gets out a few times a day just in the dining room. I have some brushes and plenty of baby wipes.

Poor wee puss. So pleased she's improving

Get well soon puss.

hope everything is ok the same has just happened to my cat hes at the emergency vets as well.
