Yowza, that sounds kind of painful, poor cat. I hope it all goes well and he is pain free soon.

Aaww poor Jack!:~(

As the others say though the Vets will take great care of him and sure he will make a complete recovery.

Getting him to rest will be the fun part but the run your hubby is making sounds like a great idea. Put some nice comfy bedding in there and sure he'll be happy.

Keep us updated with his progress please.

no i m not sure how it happened,there are no marks on him any where,even the broken leg is smooth and clean.did wonder as its so windy something outside on the croft or in the barn has fallen on him.cats don t really land funny when they jump do they?

Really glad that Jack's op went well and that it is a straightforward break. Hopefully, his recovery will be speedy.

Aw I bet you really missed him! Bet you are longing for tomorrow to get him home.:D

Glad you have Jack home now.:D
He will probably be pretty subdued to the anaesthetic etc.
Hopefully, now he's home and on regular medication he will get better each day.

Have you thought of trying a magnetic collar if he will wear this?

My dog Benjy badly injured his leg when he was a puppy and I am sure wearing this helped in his recovery. Also the homeopathic remedy Arnica helps.
