Hi everyone, my 2-month-old kitten fell from the first floor; one second of not paying attention and bang. She’s a proper little daredevil.
When I picked her up, she wasn't moving at all, which I think was due to shock. When we got back upstairs, I noticed some blood on her nose; she was breathing really heavily, drooling, and her eyes were watering. I wrapped her up in a duvet to keep her warm as she seemed quite dazed. There were only a few drops of blood (I think it’s just a small cut right by her nose). I used a damp flannel to cool her down. She seemed to have some discomfort around her nose, there was some fluid coming out and she was sneezing. I called an out-of-hours vet but they were going to charge me around £170 just for the consultation, which I simply can't afford. I stayed up with her all night; she slept and sneezed a few times to try and clear that "discomfort". I eventually drifted off, and when I woke up, she was running around the living room like a mad thing. She’s eaten well, her stools are normal, and while she’s still sneezing a bit, there’s no more fluid coming out. I’ve had to go to work, but I've got a vet appointment booked for 6pm this evening.
I’m so, so scared. Does anyone have any similar experiences to share? From what I’ve described, does it sound serious? I feel so guilty about it.
Thanks everyone.
