Cat is in emergency vets not looking good

My cat got hit by a car. Some lovely neighbours knocked as she was hiding under their car in pain. We got her and rushed to the emergency vets. She was breathing and no blood but her back legs seemed injured.
The vet said she's in shock and is on fluids and pain relief.
It now seems she may have a ruptured bladder. Her pelvis is fractured and even if that can be repaired there's a chance she won't walk.
I've left her there overnight so they can monitor her and she's comfortable and not in pain.
I think unless something miraculous happens this is it.
I don't know why I'm posting really.
I can't stop crying I feel so sad.

Oh I’m so sorry, we had a very similar situation recently and we did have to say good night to our darling boy but he was almost 18, sending strength, it’s truly awful Flowers

Im so sorry op! I really hope your cat recovers! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Christwosheds · 04/05/2025 22:45

Hope she is ok, I have known cats recover from a broken pelvis, it’s a common car injury. Sending out all good wishes for her OP.

shellyleppard · 04/05/2025 22:47

@lovelychops your poor cat, how horrible for you all. Sending hugs and wishing for a good outcome x

BatchCookBabe · 04/05/2025 22:47

Oh bless you @lovelychops and bless your lovely cat. Sounds bad doesn't it? Poor kitty. 😢 Oh the poor little Angel! I'm so sorry. No words. ❤

lovelychops · 04/05/2025 22:49

Thank you everyone. The vet was kind but I think he was trying to say it may be kinder to put to sleep rather than through all the potential operations. Maybe that's why I feel so very sad, as it's my decision? I had a cat of many years who died, but that was out of my control.
It just feels so weird that she won't be here

If it’s any help when we put ours to sleep it was very quiet, and calm, and quick. We knew that he would have hated the treatment and in our case there was no guarantee that it would work, but yours might be really different, poor love.

Just had a call from the vets. Her heart stopped. She's gone. We can see her tomorrow and say goodbye

How old was she? I bet she had a wonderful life with you.

She was 3. A rescue. She had been rescued from. Ukraine ! She'd lived a life ! She was so adventurous (and a killer) she'd had to fend for herself for so long.
