I got a similar story
I might have shared it already but oh well.
I was chilling outside one morning and I heard something, as I get closer to the street I seen a little cat in the gutter
. Cat was a little bit bigger then my hand, it was wet but didn’t think much about it. I took it in the yard and put it down and quickly realized his back legs didn’t work. It would use its front legs to drag itself
.
There is a local vet like down the street, I go in and tell them I found the cat and if they can tell me what’s going on, if anything is fractured. The front desk chick goes back and talks to the vet and he agrees to see the cat, he just does a visual and feels on both legs and says he doesn’t feel anything wrong. He instructs me to have her crawl on carpet for a few days and see if her back legs respond. He didn’t even charge me.
I did just that and in a week she’s walking
Got her shots the next following weeks and got her fixed.
Trip out though, so right after I bring her back from the vet I find out by my friend across the street that a stray cat had babies and a German Shepard next door got to them by going under a fence and he killed them. Once I remembered how the cat was wet I knew immediately that it was slobber and not water, it had that consistency of slobber. Somehow that cat got away and dragged itself across the street to my house.
