Hi everyone, I'm kinda new here. I think that this is a great site and just this afternoon I was thinking of putting my new kittens' pictures.
Well, thing is, one of my kittens fell off the balcony (3 storeys). I brought her to the vet and she thinks that Torti's got a broken leg above the joint (not an easy fix), possible punctured lungs and other possible unknwon injuries. Due to her age (she's 5 weeks), the vet thinks that it'll be cruel to put her through x-rays, sedation, surgeries (if required), and so on and she pretty much suggested that I should put her down. What should I do? For now, they've kept her overnight at the hospital and she's doing fine.
I think surely there are other options apart from euthanasia? But is it fair to put her through so many things?
Any advice would be appreciated
