Tetley, one of my 2 cats is very sick.
2 weeks ago he was either hit by a car or attacked by another animal - the true answer we will never know. He had a massive abcess under his tail and the tail itself had come away from the body in a 'V' shape. His tail has been partly amputated (the rest will have to go as it is dead) and the abcess sorted - 34 stitches later. He's on antibiotics.
The poor little thing is having trouble going to the loo and the vet said, unless he has been able to poo by Wednesday he will have to be put to sleep - he's only 5 years old.
He looks so sad. Today we took him to the emergency vets 30 mins drive away as we were worried and didn't think it was fair to leave him for another 3 days - a very, very hard decision to make.
The vet checked him over and said he's doing well. He asked does he pee? Yes, we said. That's okay then. He's fine.
I now have one vet saying he's fine if he doesn't poo and another vet saying he'll have to be put to sleep. So, PLEASE keep your fingers crossed that little Tetley will be okay.
