Hi guys I am writing in urgency so sorry if i have bad grammar
I wrote in a thread in 'crossing the bridge' that I had my beloved semi-feral cat run over on Friday on her leg and i "knew" that she wouldn't make it b/c she didn't look good. She kept trying to hop, and sometimes she would drag herself and scream at me if i tried to pick her up; her rear right leg was broken, and i can't tell if she had spinal damage so I was almost certain that she wasn't going to make it. On Saturday morning, she disappeared after refusing to eat, which led me to believe that she was giving up and finding a place to hide and breath her final breaths. I tried to find her and hear cries after i kept calling her, but there was no response. Today in the evening she just showed up and appeared to be better, she's limping and moving around slowly, and thankfully she ate. She's purring, meowing and being affectionate and laying down but she's still hurt. I am worried she might go away again b/c she's scared of the environment, or b/c she is developing more pain that might kill her. It's been 2 days and she seems better but I just want to be sure, i plan on taking her to the vet but it will probably be super hard. Im not an expert in this stuff but can anyone try to help me answer the question if she's going to die or not? many many thx in advance
