Yes the beautiful black cat featured on adopatvet was hit by a car on 6th of August ...
but he had a lucky escape .... our neighbour was walking past and must have found him seconds after it happened and let us know. He was in a very bad way, with bleeding from his mouth and started going into shock. However we rushed him to see Shona the vet... ( am not yet qualified enough to deal with such emergencies) and she stablised him by putting him on a drip. AMAZINGLY enough after through x rays it was found that he hadn't broken a single bone!!!!
But had injured his brachial plexus, the bundle of nerves in the 'armpit' that runs down the leg. Rather like a junction box.
The poor boy has been having to rest in a puppy crate ever since but is walking very well now and is making a good recovery!
