Hello all, not been on here for a long time, im posting for advice as my poor baby Simba has been in an accident on thursday and has only just come out of the vets today he has got a fractured pelvis and we are told to keep him in a confinement cage for 4 weeks to allow him to heal properly.this is so hard we got him a cage (managed to borrow one) but he was going mad at first meowing like crazy eventually after a couple hour of him not settling i covered the cage with a light blanket and he has settled down now.
I
just feel so sorry for him, he has a blanket to sleep on then his water/food bowl at the side and his litter tray near the front of the cage although this is actually a small roasting tin (which was all i could find) he just looks so squashed in there its only 4ft like the vet advised i went to him and gave him a stroke half hour ago with the cage door open and he didnt get up this time so think he may be accepting the fact that hes staying in there.4 weeks just seem like such a long time though :-(
Has anyone had any experience of this? Thanks
