In reply to Help..HURT KITTY, need advice ;o(, posted by wildcardII on May 26, 2006, at 9:03:13
> ~i feed all the outside kitties around here and one came to me w/ a hurt leg. i 1st thought it was broken but it isn't. it looks to have been caught in something or possibly bitten. i've had him on my back porch for weeks now w/ food/water and litter box. he is soooo sweet. i wear gloves b/c i am very pregnant and put peroxide and neosporin on his wound everyday. for the pain, ibuprofen. i know it's not recommended but it helped his pain tremendously! lately i've noticed it's looking worse and found he has been aggravating it so i wrapped it in gauze and med. tape. i cannot afford a vet rt. now and he doesn't seem to be suffering much. any advice?? i figured if this doesn't work then he'll have to be put down...
If you know the right sort of veterinarian, you can get some antibiotics really inexpensively.
A vet at an animal rescue place. You know the vibe I mean. I hope there's one near you.
