Keeping dogs, cats and all other pets in FranceWe started our day at 05.45, it's a 2 & a half hour drive to Toulouse from ours.
Our appointment was for 9, we were there at 8.30.
The surgeon vet examined Sherlock, he found no pain and good movement of his hind legs and tail. Sherlock, being a "lord" took it in his stride, even being à jaune.
We trotted off to IKEA for the 6 hour wait, had rubbish fish & chips for lunch (not up to their usual standard).
Went back to collect Sherlock at 3, and waited until 4.30 to see the vet. By this time we felt very tired, and grumpy.
So, diagnosis, a fractured bone at the base of his vertebrae connecting to his tail.
Treatment for now non surgical, cage rest for 4 weeks. If he later develops pain, incontinence then he will need surgery.
Relief!
..... cage rest difficult daytimes as he shares space with Sykes but we will remove anything he can jump on, except the bed
and at night he can go into a caged area (with plenty of room).A relief day but also frustrating and very tiring.
This morning when the vet examined him he said what a beautiful cat!
He truly is
