Snickers is hurt...........

[dominosarah]

I just found out about an hour ago that Snickers fell down the steps today.  He was laying at the top of the steps and someone came around the corner and didnt see him so he got stepped on and then fell.  I was at work when this happened.  I noticed when i got home he didnt greet me at the door and hasnt eaten today.  He is walking very slow and with a limp.  He always sits on my lap when i get home but he didnt tonight.  I have placed a call to the vet so am waiting for a call back.  He has been laying down alot.  I have felt him all over and he doesnt squirm and he always gets mad when i mess with him........I checked the litter box and didnt notice any blood but i am really scared right now.  He doesnt want any food, water nothing.  His ears are up and his eyes look okay.  Would i know if he had internal injuries?  I hope he is okay........I will just die if something happens to him..... sara

Good news.........Snickers is sitting on the end table right now watching the cardinal that is out in the back yard.  Those birds drive him nuts!!!!  He ate during the night and he looks better this morning.  He has that wrinkle inbetween his eyes so he is feeling better!!!!  He is still limping but not as bad.  The water dish is still in tact so hopefully he will be feet deep in that soon!!!!  LOL

Did i tell you the young man weighs 20.2 lbs!!!!  Vet said he looks great!!!

This is Hissie's momma Lynn. I am so very very sorry about poor little Snickers getting hurt. I am glad to hear though that you took him to the vet and that he is slowly improving. You have been so helpful and kind to me, that I wanted to send you and your sweet Snickers HUGS, HUGS, HUGS!!! I am so happy this turned out well for Snickers and you. I well know what it is like to worry so about our beloved kitties. Hissie says this to Snickers, "Hang in there boy. Sending you purrs for being so worried about me. Now, I am better. And you will be, too. PURR, PURR, PURR." Keep us updated, but so happy and relieved that Snickers will be fine with a little time. GOD BLESS

Sara-rest easy cuz Snickers is definitely improving.  He's eating now and washing himself.  I bet that he'll continue to make improvements everyday!  You'll have your wild man back to his normal self in no time!  =D

I still feel so bad.  Poor little(big)thing.  It is so weird here with him being so quiet.  He is always getting into something, chasing the beagle, batting at my ankles, wanting to hang off the counter trying to see in the refrig and now he just lays and sleeps.  I realize it is only 1 day but he is a busy kitty in a 24 hr period!!!  The beagle just sleeps and eats now so that is normal for her.  Guess i will just sit here on the couch again tonight and watch the both of them sleep..............I was up most of the night watching him......I need a nap!!!!

Gee, is the vet saying animals are smarter than humans? Hmm, maybe! They know when to rest and we don't, lol. Ain't that the truth! And the thing is animals, like babies, know when to eat and when it's best not to, like when they're sick or hurt. I heard that the body heals itself at night while we're sleeping, so maybe his body just needed some time to concentrate on healing last night instead of digesting food. Makes sense to me!
Do watch his liquids at least, though. If you need to, take a syringe with water and squirt little bits in his mouth. Hopefully, he just needs a couple of days to mend and will be bouncing back in no time!
Still praying! God cares too! :)

Oh yeah, he didn’t greet you at the door but that’s just because he decided he’d rest to heal faster to be able to jump on the Snoopy water dish and mess the whole thing up.  He is a smart fella. He knows what he is doing, trust that!  I bet he is now thinking of his next move………blowing up litter boxes has now become obsolete with the introduction of new technology.  

Snickers,

This is Abby. I left Dillan playing with the fish and stole PK’s computer to let you know that I am going to your house in a few days to have another party. You’d better get better soon pal. I am sending you head butts now.  All is well my furiend.  I will be meowing for you!

Abby.
