This may sound a bit strange to some people, but I'm a little distraught right now. My cat recently injured her tail very badly. After thinking about it, I think someone, maybe a neighbor, stepped on it and she tried to pull away and it yanked her tail out of its place. She has a really high fracture and is having her whole tail amputated tomorrow morning. I dropped her off at the vet this morning and they are afraid she may have some nerve damage and may not be able to control her bladder/anus muscles very well. Worst case she may have to be manually relieved for the rest of her life. She's only 5 years old. I pray that's not the case. She hasn't showed issues of that so the worry is that the surgery may be complicated because it's such a sensitive area.
She's at a major university vet school ICU so she's in good hands but the cost is going to be unbearable to me. 5-6k. All going on a credit card. I am already at the end of my financial rope. I make less than 1k a month and barely scraping by trying to save up anything I can. I don't know if anyone can help me find a better job, but I'll take just about anything, willing to relocate, freelance IT work, etc.
This is Princess. I pray that the surgery go well tomorrow and for Princess to be able to live a normal life again. Also help me find a way to pay for this and to find a more productive occupation.
Amen.
Update Princess is out of surgery and the surgeon said it went very well with no complications and she should make a full recovery. Thanks again for the prayers, frens. It means a lot.
Prayers for you. At the shelter I used to volunteer at, there was a cat who had tail damage from having it caught in an engine. She had difficulty with defecation (the poop would fall out) but was otherwise in good shape. Eventually, she found a forever home with a loving girl and her mom.
