Minxie's back injury

[Barbara]

I am very sorry to hear about Minxie.
Unfortunately I cannot be of any help. I suppose that some of the rescuers who have seen many cats in their life like QueenScoopalot could have some experience.

However it reminds me of Meo, who died in 1978. She had a car accident and although nothing was broken (and she could walk) some things didn't work anymore. She first needed an amputation of her tail as it would not heal. And finally we had to put her to sleep as some of her inner organs didn't work anymore. After that- it took more than a month- I felt it would have been better to let her go earlier as she needed so much treatment and had to suffer pain.

But on the other hand if there is still hope- I would have no idea how to decide. Sending my best thoughts for both of you.

I'm sorry your girl is hurting. A great place to post is on the discussion board here...www.handicappedpets.com There are many others who have been down the same road with spine injured animals, and a lot of excellent advice on how to help Minxie recover. Please keep us posted, and hope she recovers fully.
