Got a vet appointment today and took a extended lunch to get Steggy there and back to work.
Turns out he did damage his two front limbs and possible nerve damage. My cat is definitely in a lot of trouble now because she is the reason why he fell. I swear, we had for almost a whole year and my cat has never had any interest up until now...
Anyway, hurt his limbs and could use them to climb up and down his cage like he normally does. Normally walks circles up and down all day. Not a
small cage either. Because he couldn't roam around the higher areas of his cage, he wasn't eating enough (if anything) and not getting the calcium into his diet, leading to more damage and little to no healing.
While in the vet office, he received three different shots. One was into his abdomen to replenish the water and calcium he hasn't been ingested. The other two were to help with the pain he was most likely suffering from and to help with his vitamin D.
I'll get a list of meds she prescribed for him once I get home. I'm at work... like always...
3 different ones and then a soft food to force feed him unfortunately because he isn't going after his other foods.
When trying to get his mouth open at the vet, he fought a lot. Wouldn't open his mouth. It was "like trying to lift Thor's Hammer" is how the Vet described it jokingly.
All we could get open was his lips and there was a tiny bit of blood. So she was a little worried that he may have mouth rot. But wasn't 100%. Could have also just been from trying to his him to open his mouth. Either way, she is confident in him regaining his health. It's just a matter of time and patience.
In other news, I am being interviewed for a much better job. A much higher pay grade than I am currently in. How that relates is that if I get this job, I'll be able to dedicate more time and much much better care for him. That's the main issue for me right now. The cashflow to support him. Since I got laid off, the dollar signs have been much smaller. Hopefully that is about to change.
