As some of you may know from reading my posts I work in a veterinary office and today the animal control officer brought in a black and white female cat who had been hit by a car.
Since it rained today she was soaking wet and she laid there pretty much comatose. She couldn't have been very old. She was also pregnant and was due in a couple weeks. Her pelvis was shattered and she was paralized from the waist down. We had no choise other than to put her to sleep.
It was extremly saddening and we all felt very bad for this poor girl and her babies. Although we all would have liked to save her, she was in alot of pain and there was nothing more we could do. I'm sorry to tell such a sad story but it was bothering me and I needed to get it off my chest.
I hope she's in a better place now along with her babies. Unfortunatly there's not much you can do to prevent hit by cars and this is a good reminder on why I keep my kitties inside(although she was most likey a stray).
Thanks guys....
