So I'm back... to the velvet underground...

[catinthedark]

Oh, sweetie. While I'm so happy to hear he's home, I'm so sorry to hear he's hurt. But know that he must feel 100% better to be with you - and to know you're taking care of him (which I am convinced he does know). Poor little thing. Does the vet think he was hit by a car? Anyway, not important.

I hope he does start to feel better. Your love will be among the best medicine.

He must be a strong one, but I'm so sorry he was hit. But it's wonderful that he's at home with you.

hey a update on pepe
and big thank you for keeping him in your thoughts!
bodily functions are all in order
and he has had some movement with his leg
he is moving it in places he didnt before
his paw is still without feeling and movement
but ive decided not to get anything cut
in that he seems to be on the mend, and
if it is functioning a little bit i cant see losing it

pls continue to send good thoughts his way

when i took this pic this afternoon
pepe knew it was for you so lots of purrrs and cuddles for you!

funny when i took this pic, shelly my shep (who has kindly
steered a little clear of pep so as not to crush him with loving excitement)

came up and gave a few licks to his leg and posed like this...
ive never seen this look on her before...she being very gentle...shes usually a ham...she sure does love pepe.

Oh, thank goodness!!!! What sweeties, too. I feel extra bad (or relieved) pepe has the exact same markings as my special man, but he has long hair.
I'm so relieved to hear that. I was wondering...I guess this wasn't a cast situation? you know, a cast on his leg?

YAY, PEPE IS OK!

nope never a mention of a cast by the vet...i think its probably good for him to move it around as much as possible to get movement and feeling back again...i think. btw, did your man come home?

earlier this this thread i thought you mentioned your cat was missing too? well whats broken is part of his pelvis...and they cant cast that...the broke pelvis messed up a nerve that runs down the leg which is why his leg is messed. the vet says the pelvis is amazing! whod have thunk it? he says it heals in all kinds of amazing ways...

let me just say if this vet was speaking to me at any other time about the pelvis i would have jumped his bones...i always get the gorgeous ones! sigh it wouldnt have been appropriate what with the cat there on the table...lol

BTW..I had a dalmatian Buster (sighh my sweet sweet boy)..anyway he was hit by a car when he was like 2..and his front leg was in pretty bad shape.vet thought he would have to amputate it..but he decided to put some plates and screws in it and cast it and see if would heal..with the warning it might not and he still might have to amputate..It was a long recovery but he got to keep his leg and no one could belive he had plates in his leg a few years later when they would see him running like the wind..Soo keep your chin up and we all will hope that Pepe will have a great outcome too..Have Faith..and check with your vet and see if you can make some kind of payment plan if you have to..Hey I gave my vet ,my camera equipment and jewlery to hold until $3000.00 bill was paid..Pepe is beautiful!! Keep us updated on his recovery..Blessings jill

I had the biggest crush on my dentist in my old hometown. He was Belgian, totally beautiful, with an accent to match. Totally charming - and he was a FLIRT!! Oh, my GOD. I wear a toe ring, and one time I was there, and he saw it, and he said to his hygienist, "did you see her toe ring? I find that very sexy." And I was like, "um... lying right here! Can hear every word issuing forth from your perfect mouth!"

Found out about six months later he's married with two kids. Doh!!
