    You can also get 'kitty diapers' or really small human pullups. That would help for a while.

    Prayers that Jo Jo gets well soon!

    Does he still have his tail???

    the vet did not amputate the tail, because he said jo-jo would not live anyway, but thanks for your prayers and with my help and jo-jo's strong will , I pray he will surive, he is very happy about being inside, and the blood in his pee is hardly there, just alittle. the vet said the tail will fall off on it own.

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I would also get a second opinion about this. Good luck and please continue to keep us updated about him.

    I'm very sorry about JoJo! In the meantime, buy the smallest human baby diapers you can find (pet diapers cost much more)!!! Cut a small hole in one side for his tail to poke through. In his case, you may not need to even do that though. Just be sure to check his diaper several times per day and wipe him with a baby wipe to get the urine and / or feces off of his skin. If urine builds up on his skin for too long, he will get burns. I know because I am doing this with my poodle. She jumped off our bed and injured her spinal cord. After surgery and $3,0000.00 later, she still is paralyzed and incontinent. I wish you the best of luck with your kitten!

    definitely check with another vet. Start with discussions over the phone, maybe?

    I am so glad you brought JoJo back home. He is just a baby really, I have 4 that are just a month younger. Getting a second opinion is important. Please be sure and keep us posted!
