Hi,
so my cat got a fracture in his hip and the vets said that it cannot be cast and we have to let it heal naturally -if it will-,
The problem that they told me to separate him from the young kitten we have because he has to completely rest and not engage in any activity for the next month at least.
they told me so because I told them the kitten loves to wrestle with Tiger (the one got the fracture) and also Tiger sometimes attacks him and engages a long play session with the kitten.
the situation here is kinda complicated. I live in a very small apartment and I live alone. so if I put any of them out of my room or in a crate he'll be extremely vocal [from past experience]. and given the space of the whole apartment it's gonna be so annoying and I study most of the time and by having them separated I will have to feed/play with/groom/pet/switch twice, so everything will be doubled.
I don't say I won't ever do that, I mean I will if I have to but maybe there are some alternatives that I don't know.
I thought of maybe tie the kittens' leg so he cannot be so free that he wrestles or play.
I even tried put an e-collar on the kitten but still he'd attack Tiger and wrestle with him.
I'm totally willing to separate them if that is the only option. But I've been hoping you have some tricks/procedures that can do the job instead of the separation.
tell me what u think.
