Hi I am new, and I need a bit of advice about my cat Max
*I'm, sorry if this subject has been touched on before. I did a search and found nothing*
Max is a 16 month old brown brumese. Last week the 9th April I found him under my bed and in shock...he had broken his tail near the head.. (How? I dont know)
I took him to the emergency vet hospital and he is still in there as they wont relase him as he has no bladder control and is retaining his urine... and they have to express him 2 -3 times a day.. he is on antibiotics and as of today he was on another tablet that contracted his bladder but all it did was give him diarreaoh (spelling?)
They have amputated his tail as that had no nerve/mobility function.
They have showed me how to express his bladder and I have been allowed to take him home for a few hours the last few days , and he has also been showing a lot of interest in his litter tray lately, scratching furiously...but he doesnt do anything.
The vet told me today that is he doesnt improve in two days he should be put down
.. . now I dont want to loose him from my life, so I have been searching for any help I can on this subject. I have found a few helpful web pages and they say the nerves/control may not recover for at least a month.
I want to bring him home and express him myself.. and get him checked weekly by the vet to make sure if he is okay..
At the moment he is fully alert.. bright and acting like a typical burmese..
and it breaks my heart to think he will have to be put down
Please can help me about this !!
