our poor pussy cat Smooch has come home this afternoon. She has had all her leg shaved from the surgery. She ended up breaking all the bones in her back right foot and because of how they broke, she had to have two pins put in her foot. She is in a cast basically up to her "elbow" (hrm... do cat's have elbows??). The Painkillers the Vet gave her must be preeeeetty strong cause she is hopping around dragging her cast everywhere purring like crazy.
$700 later, our pussy cat is all fixed up. A little worse for wear, and she'll be lugging around a fibreglass cast on her leg for 4-6 weeks, but she should be ok.
Many thanks to the staff and vets at Golden Grove Veterinary Hospital (but not their pricing department :P )
