Crating A Cat

[chickensrock]

I have had really bad start to the year, cat 1 had a grass seed stuck up nose, so needed an op to remove it, cat number 2 has been hit by a car or has been kicked really hard, x ray yesterday confirmed he has a hernia plus a snapped cruciate ligament, (knee ) he is due for his op tomorrow, I am really worried about the op, anyone had a cat they have had to cage for 6 to 8 weeks, we have crated him since yesterday as he needs to be off his knee, but we have moments of frantic ripping up the crate, litter water food saturated, we have been an bought a very large crate, and we have been getting in with him, will he get used to it and settle, dreading tomorrow,

Have you got Feliway plug-ins?

I am at the vet at ten with my avatar, just to get some steroids into him so that he can win a fight with his sister.


Do you have a video camera?

Have a look at f this site. There may be some help for you. http://www.icatcare.org/advice

The vet and I have spoken about meds, we will discuss again on collecting ziggy, he does not do pain on any level, he has to have laculose twice a day as he could not squat for a pooh and got constipated he had an enema under general yesterday when he had xrays done, I just dont feel happy drugging him up for 6 weeks, may ask about the feliway, he seems settled at the mo, x thanks all
