I ran over my cat =(

[<3 Mumofthreetobe <3]

So it's been just over a week now. He's eating heaps and wants to get out of the cage (so today and tonight he's in the laundry - even though he escaped and when we came home saw him hobbling out of our room). His left leg is more limp than his right and looks awkward on the very little times I have seen him try to move. Not sure whether to ring the vet to ask if it's all normal or wait for the 2wks to be up as the vet suggested then ask. As he's eating heaps he's going to the loo alot but the vet said he could get constipated on the meds but the opposite had occurred. Hubby's not enjoying the cleaning of the litter trays (as I can't as we are expecting). I hate seeing him not being able to be himself. I can still hear that awful noise when I hit him. Gives me shivers!!

I'm so sorry, it must be awful. When I worked in a vet clinic I saw heaps of broken pelvis' from cats being run over in their own driveway... I would suggest that even though he seems to be moving more, it would be best to keep him as confined for at least 2 weeks. I wouldn't let him out more until that time is up. Our cat recently got hit by a car and had a spinal injury, we had to keep him inside and confined for 6 weeks. I kept him confined for 10.

What happens after the two weeks? Can he just go out as normal or should I just let him out for a few hours around the house then pop him back in the cage before letting him outside again? The meds that the vet gave me are almost finished (they are anti-inflammatory & pain relief). Should I get more? My poor kitty!
