Re: My kitten got hurt in the door. Both back feet might be broken!

To suggest trying to make a splint yourself or that this will, somehow heal on its own... it must be a question of finances. If the legs are not properly set it can maim the kitten for life. Furthermore, it can set the stage for primary and secondary infections because of wear and tear on nerves and muscles due to the misalignment.This is not the broken wing of a bird that you can just tape up and watch heal. Kittens are more active than that and you are endangering this kitten to consider anything less than medical help .


Posted by kazjn@hotmail.com " I recently picked up a stray kitten and the money factor was a problem also. I took her to "people for animals" and explained my situation and they gave her a much needed flea treatment and de-wormed her for free. they also referred me to a lady who gets grants from the state who will give you vouchers for specific cat care depending on your situation especially if it is very critical. they tend to help when you are caring for a stray and your financial resources are limited. i don't know where you are located but you can call me and hopefully i can help!! Also these sites may help with costs :
