    I had something very similar happen to one of our cats many years ago, he was playing zoomies around the house and he banged into the leg of a table very hard with his rear end, it caused verybad swelling around the spine, which in turn caused nerve damage, he lost the use of his legs for about 6 weeks and he had to have his tail amputated as he did not regain control of it.
    Thank you very much. =)

    Hmm, maybe that happened to Tier as well? Did your vet also tell you that the tail would have died and fallen off if you did not amputate it? When he said that I was like, "An amputated tail in exchange for him being able to stay alive? Okay, no problem. " but, sadly, such was not the case.

    Yup pretty much what was said,
    We had to express his bladder for weeks after his accident and he was never able to jump very well for the rest of his life, but I think he looked handsom with his little nub for a tail.

    I was ready and willing to do the same things for Tier because not only was I distraught but I had the time and willingness and energy. =) I think he would have looked very handsome with a little nubby, as well.

    So sorry about you losing Tier. Your decision was the right one to make.

    He is at peace now with no pain. Happy you have another furbaby.
