Ms. Thang has Accident!

I wouldn't do a FHO unless it's necessary, like if arthritis develops or something. Let her heal, then you can do it later if you need to.

I'm sorry your kitty is hurt, but really the only way she's going to heal well and without pain, is crated! This way she is not moving around creating more problems. Is there anyone you can borrow a cage or kennel from? Maybe a nearby shelter could loan you one? This way she can get the rest she needs, and the meds she needs. Poor girl.

I got up this morning to check on her. The food I had given her was gone completely AND she came out from under the bed!!! What was funny was she almost walked out like "What's wrong?" I was SHOCKED!!! She's still can't walk much on her back legs too well but she is walking some.
My thoughts are that the pain medication that I had struggled with her taking must have kicked in. I had put some in that food yesterday. Never thinking she would ever eat the food. My problem now is that I don't know exactly when she ate the food to know when to give her another dose. I did put a drop or two more of the medicine in her new bowl of food this morning just in case. She still hasn't eaten that whole bowl yet.
My friend is going out of town and we share a carrier. Actually it's made up of parts from two carriers, one mine and one hers. She lives 20 miles from anyways. So I kept the cat in a separate bedroom that she likes.
The funniest thing happened this morning too. My ferret usually runs around in the mornings when the dogs are outside. Her and the cat share some space during that time. Sometimes the ferret steals her food. They don't always get along. The ferret can't get get into the room the cat is in. Well, I kept hearing something scraping at a door. It was the ferret trying to get into the room with the cat!!! She seemed to have sensed something was wrong because she NEVER goes to that door when she's out. I finally took the ferret into the room to see the cat so she would calm down. It seemed to make her feel better once she saw the cat. I then took the ferret back out so not to make the cat move. Overall, it was a "good" visit!!!
I may have to take kitty to the vet to get her hip popped back in again. It may have popped out again. Although I am thinking that it's now going to be one of those "trick hips" and slip in and out naturally. She's still going to need surgery on it eventually. I am just waiting to go to another vet to get it done.
