Cat with a fractured pelvis

Thanks for the advice. I've just messaged a specialist vet hospital, so hopefully that’ll shed some light on things.

I’d say the same as Liza; if you trust your vet, then listen to them and, above all, ask what they would do if it were their own. That’s how I’ve always done it, but you really have to trust your vet, or otherwise get a second opinion.

Hi Isabelle, No two cases are the same, so I’m sharing a link to a great veterinary resource you should look at: https://www.vets-now.com/pet-care-advice/pelvic-fractures-in-cats/ Take your time to read through it and compare the information with your cat's X-rays and your vet's diagnosis. It might be inoperable, and the cat could be left paralysed in its hindquarters, with all the complications that involves. Recovery from these fractures is sometimes more successful in dogs because their bones are larger; some continue to live happy lives using a mobility cart (you often see videos of this). If you have a good vet, follow their advice in the end. Stay strong and, whatever happens, don't let your cat suffer unnecessarily. Liza
