Poor Jack

So, our poor little kitty broke his leg/hip this morning. Ugh, it was the most horrfic thing I've ever seen and who knew such noises could come from a cat! He got his leg stuck between teh seat and arm rest of our office chair. As he attempted to get free, he kept twisting and snaping at me trying to help. After he was free, he was soo scared and hissing, then tried to run away and did so, on three legs. He let me pet his face and I could tell his leg was externally rotated and limp. Off to the vets, where Jack was diagnosed with an epiphyseal (growth plate) fracture of his femur. He is scheduled to have surgery (osteotomy of the femoral head) on Thursday. He is home with us and partially sedated on pain meds. The vet said for him to avoid any trauma, that should be easy since Calia, Coda and Gabbro (we happen to be dog sitting this week) never go near the cat! (HA!)
