Prayers and well wishes needed / UPDATE POST #14

[rg_girlca]

Yesterday I noticed that my grandkitty Sades was just not quite himself, but my son kept saying, "No, he's okay Mom, he's just chillin today." But later on he agreed that he wasn't himself. I put Sades to the test and brought out a tin of wet food and got the plates ready. Usually he is the first one that bolts and I mean "BOLTS" into the kitchen when he knows I am getting ready to give them their treat. But not yesterday. He somberly came into the kitchen and when I gave him his plate, he just ate a bit and then left to lay back down in the cat bed. My son knew right then and there that there was something definately wrong with his cat. My son went to pick him up and Sades let out a cry. We noticed when he put him back down that he had a slight limp to his back right leg and was walking just not right. I figured that maybe he landed a little too hard when he jumped off the bureau and that he would be better by the next day, but unfortunately he isn't.

We will be leaving soon to bring him to the vets to see what is what. It's going to be a long wait as they are very busy today. You have to take a number and wait your turn. I'll update ASAP.

So, if you could please send out some prayers for my Grandkitty that it isn't anything serious.

He basically hasn't left this spot since yesterday except that one time when I put the wet food down. I can see that he isn't well. Poor baby.:(

Poor Sades. Not only does Decker look like him but he also sounds like him about food, first to bolt.

I sure hope he's okay and will be feeling better soon. Prayers and positive thoughts on the way.

Sorry for the late update, but we left later than expected and just got back home about 15 minutes ago.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. :D

Well, my suspicions were right. The vet said that he most likely jumped off something high the wrong way. It could have been the bureau or the cat tree. He said he most likely bruised his back end because he was very tender there when he examined him and when he put Sades down on the floor to see how he walked, he let out a cry. You could clearly see that his back end was not working right. So he is on anti-inflammatories for one week and we have to TRY and keep him from jumping up on things. I think he knows he can't anyway, because he is back in the cat bed, where he usually never sleeps. My son has two small bureau's stacked on top of one another, beside a lower bureau and he always sleeps on the stackable ones.

Thank you again everyone. :)

Thanks for the update, Lorraine. Groucho and I stiil feel bad that Sades doesn't feel too good but we're relieved to know it's nothing too serious. Now, how do you keep a kitty from jumping up on things?

Now, how do you keep a kitty from jumping up on things?

Well, apart from laying the cat trees down on the floor and taking down the bureau on top, I can't think of anything else. It's just for a day or two, so hopefully he will stay put in the cat bed.

Sades probably won't want to jump because he's feeling kinda punk right now. I'm glad it isn't anything too serious but we'll keep the prayers going so that he heals nicely and is back to normal quickly. :)

Awe... poor Sades. I hope he gets to feeling better and his bruises heal up quick. Honey fell on something (I think he was being chased by Zach :rolleyes:) and he was purple on his belly! I felt so bad for him. He's better now, but I have to constantly watch out for Zach being a meanie with him.

Feel better hugs and pets on the way for Sades! Rest up sweet boy!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Poor Sades! Hopefully his injury will clear up soon!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Lorraine, I'm so sorry to hear this.:( I hope that he'll feel better soon and make a quick recovery.

[phesina]

Continuing prayers that Sades will rest comfortably and heal thoroughly.
