Our Precious cat fell down the stairs 4 weeks ago. She was playing and jumping around, took off running and lost control by the basement entrance where the high gloss floor ends and the staircase begins... Of course we took her to the vet, because she dislocated some bones in the wrist... 4 weeks later and $500.00, she still is in pain and refuses to use her paw...
This is painful to watch.
They took the splint off two weeks ago and here we are with a cat who uses only three legs. Now the doctor has her on the painkillers again.
I hope that she will start using the leg soon, she needs to build up the straight and the muscle. She lost a lot of hair from the rubbing of the splint, it is slowly growing back, but the injured leg looks much thinner than the healthy one.

I am so sad for your kitty.
It really broke my heart to see that picture. :-(
I hope she recovers SOON!
