Well, my parents were heading to a friends house when they saw what appeared to be a dead kitten from the side of the road. On the way back, they stopped so they could move it out of the way so its corpse didn't have to be just ruined by cars.. but as it turned out, he was alive! They brought him home. They gave him pain medicine, enough that could've possibly sedated him and made his heart slow down enough to pass peacefully, but luckily, he didn't pass from it. Right now, the main issue we see is possible head trauma judging on the fact one eye is dilated, while the other isn't. All the vets near us are for-profit and we don't the financial means to get him good treatment. We can't find any cat rescues for seriously injured cats. The cat may have a broken bone, but I'm not sure since all 4 of his legs work, and he crawls around in the basket with a blanket we have him in right now. We have fed and watered him using a little tube and fed it to his mouth, and boy he enjoyed the soft cat food!
Thing is, we don't know how life threatening it is. He seems to be acting okay. Problem is.. we simply do not what to do with him, because we don't want to get him euthanized without giving him all the possible chances. Possible that the head trauma can go untreated(guessing not). With the lacket of cat rescues for injured cats and only for-profit animal hospitals/vets near us, we are lost. Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks.
