Prayers and good thoughts going out for a speedy recovery, Boo!
I just know that Lady Boo will heal up fine! Now, heal your heart and stop feeling so guilty. We have all probably put up something to keep our furkids away from something, you did nothing wrong. You didn't intend for Boo to try to jump it and fail. You meant to keep the kitties away from something. Boo does not connect you with her pain, so neither should you. Prayers coming for you and Lady Boo.:love:
Update on Lady Boo for today, she is not limping nearly as bad as she was yesterday so the pain meds have helped her with the pain. She is laying in the living room on the floor more than usual so getting up on the bed must be a bit of a problem for her.. but she did take a nap in the bed today. She also comes up to me and puts her paws on the chair, putting her weight on her back legs :rolleyes:, tapping my arm to pick her up. I tell her not to do that and to take it easy but she is a proud ole gal and continues to do as she pleases...
I'm so sorry to hear about Boo.:( I hope that she'll stay off of her injured leg and will heal up quickly. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.
Prayers and a candle for Lady Boo

Oh Laura, I am so sorry to hear about Boo's injury. Poor baby.
Our Daisy overstretched her muscle or ligament or something last year, and her limp was awful. She did not require surgery, but she ended up being confined to one room for just over three months. Occasionally, if she turns quickly, you can see the leg wobble under her, but she is happy and she seems to cope with it.
Beat wishes and healing hugs to beautiful Boo. :love:
I am so sorry Lady Boo has a Booboo! Best wishes for a speedy healing!
i'm so happy to read this and then to find out that boo is doing much better.
we picked up a cat at a no kill shelter that was run over and it was laying on the side of the road (the person said who brought him in).
well his hind legs were real bad and bandaged up.the helpers changed his dressings daily for weeks i was told, and there were huge scrapes all over his neck and other areas.scars now.
but we've had him a year now and his hind legs will never be like a normal cat.he has a hard time jumping up on things but manages usually.he's a good boy...all black (real black everywhere).he was listed as 3 yrs old but our vet said he was in his more in his senior yrs.(we agreed)
but he's doing great.
maybe boo will be ok like our Kevin.I hope boo will feel better soon.
I'm so sorry to hear that Lady Boo has injured her leg. Many prayers are going out for a quick and complete recovery.
It's easy to understand how you feel, Laura. Please lighten up on yourself, you did nothing wrong. Obviously dear Boo doesn't blame you since she's asking you to pick her up so that she can be close to you.
Sending get well soon scritchies and lovies to Boo and [[[[[HUGS]]]]] to you :love:
Don't beat yourself up over it, you did nothing wrong. Sometimes cat's just do things that later they find out they shouldn't have done (kinda like us hoomans sometimes). Boo will probably heal up without too many problems and I'm happy to hear she's feeling better already.
Two of my cats had some limping episodes in the last year. Both of them happened when I wasn't home so I can only assume that they tried to jump to the high cabinet and missed or something. Their vet said that they probably tore some of their ligaments and put them on Dasaquin for a month or so, I was told cats tend to heal up easier and faster without the surgery unlike dogs. The limping healed up and both are now tearing around the house like nothing ever happened an no sign of limping.
The shot the vet gave her Wednesday has wore off and she is back to limping really bad. She will get her pain drops tonight on her treat with her Cosequin in it too.. She will NOT stay off of it, I think the pain makes her restless. I keep telling her to GO TO BED and STAY OFF of it! Stubborn ole gal like me so she don't listen.. I just don't want to confine her to a room, the vet wanted me to crate her :rolleyes: Boo would go crazy being crated.. Maybe after I leave to go to work next week, she will quit coming up here since there won't be no one her to pet her and stay in bed! Rie says she never comes up here when I am gone.
She keeps coming up here for me to pick her up and love on her for about all of 3 minutes and then wants down... this happens at least once a hour. She does this all the time, I think to assure herself that I am still here?
Aww, I'm sorry about Miss Boo. I hope she heals up quickly.
About her crooked ear...how did that happen? Because my "loaner" cat I have also has a bent ear. He had what my friend thought was a cyst on his ear and it healed up but his ear is now bent over at the tip (exactly like Boo's, same ear even). And I just love it! I think it is adorable. :)
Poor Boo... I hope she feels better soon.
Don't beat your self up Laura... cats get into things and they many times don't know their limits. She'll heal and feel better soon!
As a young lady she had ear mites and she kept scratching her ear. In scratching it, she somehow busted a blood vessel and her ear swelled up like a balloon, separating the ear front and back. The vets drained all the blood out of it and stitched the front and back skin back together but said it probably would never look the same again. It healed up like that and that is how it has been every since. I have always thought it made her so cute and gave her character.. like it was always suppose to be like that to make her complete. This happened after Mama died and she and I both were living with my sister in Florida, early in the 1990's.Quote:

I had no problem giving her the pain meds last night. 2 drops on her treat and she gobbled it right up.. Today she is hardly limping at all so it is working good for her.
Hi Boo,
I felt sad when I heard Meowmie say you hurt your leg and don't feel too good right now. Sometimes we kitties think we can do anything so without thinking about it we let our feline spirit of adventure get in the way. Please take good care of yourself and listen to your Meowmie. We definitely want you to come along on the next Catmobile adventure! Sending you feel better purrs and headbumpies.
Your friend,
Groucho
