Note- This is not my cat and I am not responsible for its care
One of the barn kitties at my barn got hurt today. My guess is she got hit by a car. When I came into the barn this morning the cat was sleeping in my horses stall. She stayed in the stall while I cleaned it. When I tried to move her out of the way, she couldn't walk. There was somthing wrong with her hind legs. She didn't seem to be in any pain and let me touch her all over. I feared she had a spinal cord injury. I notified the barn owner and he took her to the emergency vet. The cat was x-rayed and she has a cracked hip. Fortunatly she will make a full recovery. She is now encloded in part of the observation area with a bed litter box food and water. She gets medication three times a day. I feel so bad for the poor kitty.
