Our Little Girl Kitty Betty.
A few days ago our newest rescue kitty Betty fell from our 5th floor balcony to the sidewalk below, I don’t know what time it was when she fell, but I awoke with only one kitty around yelling for food. I looked everywhere in the apartment but didn’t find Betty, my heart started to sink as I finally realized she must have fallen from the balcony.
I went downstairs, and found her all huddled up by our corner, she is lucky to be alive as we are right on a busy road. There was blood and her leg was bent weirdly, I ran upstairs and called our vet. I say our vet as we have had two other of our family need her special services in the past.
I was told to come in, Betty was checked out, she had a broken rear leg which has just been fixed with an expensive pin and plate surgery.
Betty now has a pin and plate in her leg.
She has stopped eating on her own, and must stay for 7 days at the vet, and she is receiving force feeding to ensure enough nutrition. She is still in a very bad situation and if she doesn’t start to eat soon this will cause serious liver problems.
I am asking everyone who sees this post to please think happy thoughts for our Betty, and send happy healing vibes her way. If you believe in a god or higher power, I ask you to please ask for our special little girl Betty to make a full recovery soon. We haven’t had her for very long, but is already a huge part of the family.
We have had two other rescue kitties (brother & sister) in our lives, both from the street in Morocco, and bought to where we live now. We had them for a great many years, but both have sadly passed away.
We also have a kitty from Turkey again we felt the need to rescue a kitty no one wanted. He misses Betty very much and also wants to see her back home again soon.
The balcony is to be cat proofed, no more birds teasing our kitties to jump. I swear that's what the birds do, especially the evil ones.
Any comments and get well wishes are greatly appreciated in this time of anxiety and worry for our family.
Please comment, upvote, and maybe reteem this post to show us you care.
OMG Poor Betty! Our pets become very precious to us, it is so sad when something like this, so serious happens to them. Best wishes to Betty and your family and vibes for a fast recovery.
Thank you for your caring, you are correct the pets are part of our family very much so. We just want her to pull through ok.
Blessings upon your kitten. I hope she makes a full recovery. It is always heart wrenching when something like this happens; animals are as much part of the family as any human.
I can only imagine your distress upon finding her. It looks like you have a good vet from the x-ray.
Sending also healing and love.
Do keep us updated on her progress. She is very lucky to have you.
Thank you for your caring, yes we have a great vet, and yes the pets are part of the family...of course.

Yes it sure is good news. She is behaving a lot more like Betty now, interested in trying to control the apartment and our other cat. Our vet is happy with her progress. This makes us feel a lot more happy awaiting her recovery.

Thank you for caring (and resteeming). Betty is slowly getting better, she isn't out of the bad situation yet though.
How's miss Betty doing?
Betty is still recovering, still not eating more than a bite or two, so I am still force feeding her. Went to vets again today, she seems to still be in trauma and maybe a mild infection, but the prognosis is good. Thanks for asking again about Betty.
hope you recover soon
Thank you for caring. Betty is now on the mend and has a few days to stay at the vets. We all miss her.
Oh man, very sorry for Betty and you...X-ray looks good doc did good job...all the luck your way...manorvillemike
Sorry to hear about Kitty Betty. She would have experienced a lot of trauma .. psychological, emotional and physical on all levels with the fall.
It was a blessing that you found her after the accident.
If she does decide to pass on then that in the wider sense is a healing for her and you will need to accept that.
She would then be free of pain and suffering.
The pin and plate in her soft immature limb would be painful. The vet has done their best but what is the prognosis.. what will the quality of life be for the growing kitten .
You are so right you need to kitten proof / cat proof your apartment, cats-kittens etc are very curious and like to explore.. You need to make sure that they are safe from risks actual or potential when you are not there . Indoor cats need stimulus in door cat grass, cat toys , play etc. you would know this.
Prayers would be of unconditional love for the kitten detached from outcome and see what unfolds.
Its kind of you to help the cats and make sure they have good veterinary care.
All the best with everything.
Thank you for caring. Yes we are aware of the needs of kitties and cats we have had a few, all rescues. While I agree that any end to suffering would be good, I want our Betty to be healthy again soon. She is coming home today, and we are hoping she will eat of her own free will, or there will be other issues.
Thank you for caring. The clinic is very modern and up to date in technology, and our vet is great. It was an outside surgeon for the job and it was a successful surgery, now Betty must eat of her own will.
Praying in Yahshua's name as our Creator for Betty's complete healing and speedy recovery. He knows what is best! I am also sending love and appreciation to you for your good care for Betty! blessings/sc
Thank you for caring. We are all hoping for a full recovery soon. Today I am able to bring her back home, hopefully she will decide to eat on her own, there will be other issues if she doesn't decide to eat.

Thank you for caring. Betty is now on the mend, she is eating more and wants to move around a lot more. Our vet seems happy with Betty's progress. We feel a lot happier with this development.
