    A few years ago, I talked to the vet about what to do if something happened over a weekend and my cat was in pain. He suggested a few painkillers to have handy, in case they were needed.

    Hope Joey will get his paw sorted out and feel better soon!

    Thank you again for all the warm wishes and prayers!
    Randi: thats a good idea, never thought of that! Thank you for the advice

    Hes just visited the vets and the vet said that it's badly dislocated and shes never seen anything like it!
    After talking to the vet its been decided that he will have his toe amputated she said it'll cost more in the long run to put it back in place, and even then it may need amputating if it doesnt set. She said it won't affect his quality of life and he won't be stuck inside for as long compared to if he were to get it set back in place. All in all theres less complications with amputation.
    Hes in over night and we'll get him tomorrow

    Poor little guy! Amputating his toe may seem extreme at the outset however, your vet seems pretty confident this is the best procedure and we can all hope for the best result for Joey. Lots of good thoughts and wishes for your baby as he heals and gets back on his paws.
