My cat
Possible trigger:


I've just come back from dropping her off at the 24/hour emergency vet.

They've sedated her and given her pain killers and will do X-rays later on.

Prayers or positive vibes for my Bella please

I got a phone call at 1:30am. Looks like her back leg is irreparable. Bare minimum amputation. She has fractures in both sides of her pelvis. They've recommended euthanasia. I can't. Going to transfer her to my vet this morning.

I'm sorry hun, but $10,000 is too much for a 50/50 chance she'll survive. You don't want her to continue on in so much pain, either. I wish you the best and send my love.

If I could afford it, I wouldn't even think twice. But the very harsh reality is I just can't

We’ve made the decision to save Bella, including putting pins in her leg rather than amputate. My partner is going to help pay for part of it. My vet is going in to do the surgery. He used to work at the animal hospital. He’s not yet a fully qualified orthopaedic surgeon he’s still in training so he’ll do it under the guidance of their surgeon which heavily reduces the fees. He’s going to take Bella there and back for us tomorrow and her aftercare will be at his practice rather than the hospital because the hospital charge $600 per day for observation

Maybe you could get some internet crowdfunding. I admire your dedication to your cat, I probably would have decided to euthanise when I heard 10 thousand dollars rather than pursue different vets for cheaper options.
