Old broken leg in kitten... what do i do??
A sweet kitten was dropped off at my co-workers house 3 weeks ago, she is very allergic and brought him to work and asked if anyone could take him. I volunteered as he is the sweetest kitty i've ever seen. I took him to the vet, got his shots, test and everything. Today he went for his neuter, and I requested an X-ray of his leg because he walks a little odd.. but doesnt seem to be in pain to me. The x-ray showed he has a broken leg, and it was broken months ago and has now healed incorrectly but its still very broken. The vet says he needs surgery, it will cost no less than $1800 for the surgery. He has no other health problems and I'm very attached to him. He's so special. I just got a new job and I don't have 1800 extra to spend. the vet said after the surgery he wont be able to climb, or jump or be "normal". I don't mind that but I dont know I want to put him through this... and 1800 is a lot of money -I could come up with it - but it will be very difficult. What should I do? any advise on a similar cat you may have or have seen after broken leg surgery? the vet said i cant tell he's in pain cuz he's so tiny - he's only 4.5lbs right now... and said to be about 6 months old. Thank you...
