Unfortunately, on Linda’s birthday we came down to find 2 of Lizzie's kittens injured. Felix had a broken tail, but, more seriously, Kara, one of the black females, was dragging her back end around. We called the vet and asked him to meet us at his surgery (it being Sunday he was day off). He anaesthetized her, x-rayed, injected with painkillers and antibiotics and diagnosed a broken pelvis. He reckoned they had either been kicked or trodden on. How could anyone do that to a kitten and then just leave it to suffer!!! He gave us 3 choices, he could operate, but it would be tricky with no guarantee of success, he could put her down, or we could confine her in a small space for a fortnight and see if she would mend naturally. We've chosen to go with option 3, and she is now confined to our small downstairs bathroom. Hopefully she'll be OK.
