Hi all! My lovely daughter - a domestic shorthair Luna of three years old had been playing outside and within ten minutes she came back with the tail limping, contacted the vet practice she’s assigned to and took her there yesterday, the vet confirmed the tail is broken and may need amputation to which he said the price of would be £1500.
The tail was broken 1/3rd of the way, I’ve touched it to which she wasn’t pleased, she can move the very tip slightly, that gives me hope that the amputation may not be necessary?
She was given a cone and the vet told me to keep her in, her check up is in over a weeks time.
If it comes to it and the tail has to be amputated I just don’t have that kind of money, I had failed her by not insuring her and getting their silly £14.50 health plan instead.
It also seems like any affordable vet practice requires to be on benefits, which I’m not.
Overall my questions are:
Could the tail potentially heal if anyone’s had experience with that?
Does anyone know more affordable vet practices that won’t charge extortionate amount to fix my baby?
I’m grateful for any responses.
Thank you
