Cat Hurt - what to do

[haf1zur]

Hi

My mums away and today her cat came in and laid on the floor next to me licking a wound, its about an inch long and you can see the innards, so definitely needs stitches, only last time a friend took his cat to a vet for a similar but smaller wound it cost him 300 or so pounds

What would you do?

Is it worth it? I could spend that on my car or fuel for the next 3-4 months

I'd get it down the vet and get it fixed up. Will prob need some stitches, antibiotic injection, pain killer injection, and a lampshade. For injections alone you are looking at around £50-60, for stitches I'm not sure.

I assume it isn't insured if you are worried about the cost?

[haf1zur]

Yeah, not insured

Dont have insurance for myself let alone have it for a cat

[Mikesps]

Take it to the vets. The wound could get infected or something which could lead to an even bigger bill

[haf1zur]

Taking to vets, not looking forward to the bill

What would your Mum say?

Is it her cat? Get her to give you the wonga when she gets back.

This!

Get them to send the bill to your mum. What you going to do, leave the cat there to get worse?

[haf1zur]

Mums cat, the missus is at the vets now with the cat

Mum would go berserk if I left it like that

I'm not totally heartless, hopefully its not as bad as it looks

Probably got caught on a wire or something, there is new razor wires put up by neighbours on their property overlooking the road, so guessing it was from there

IIRC this is actually illegal.
