As an 'old' customer of Mackay Veterinary Hospital on Nebo Rd.The Surgery's one of the best in Mackayππ. With my love for all creatures, (exept cockroaches, mosquitos, and flies!π²π€€*), I help animals as much as I can. Nowdays, some animals live in a bad conditions & are neglected by their ownersβΉπ¦, it's appealing!π²βΉπIf you cannot look after your pet properly, provide for them, exercise them, pay for vet's visits and treatments...then please, d o n ' t g e t a P e t !!! π€€π©ππΊπππ¦ππ . It's irresponsible & cruel. All pets deserve to be loved and taking care of. They trust you & love you unconditionally & they expect the same back!β€ Dr Bill, other Vets, and a lovely Staff at Nebo Rd. AH, are doing marvellous jobs to help our pets problems.ππ Me & my partner, have a few cats to love and look after since 2002. We do everything for them.ππ» They're de-sexed, microchipped, monthly de-fleaded, wormed, etc. They live at home, wonder out in the yard, as well have a safe outdoor enclosure. We keep them locked up at night. ππͺπ½πΈπ» A few years ago, I had to call AH on Nebo Rd. A/Hrs, in emergency, after our 5 years old 'wonderer', rat π catcher, and a 'drainage researcher'π Siamese-Cross male cat 'Ninja-Turtle'πΌ, has been hit by a car while chasing a tom cat. (Back then,we didn't have a locked up cat's enclosure at the back of our house!π*) I was in the garden when I saw it. Our 'Ninja- Turtle' run quickly towards our patio at the backπ€€. I run after him, and to my horror! π±π¨ He looked as he was seriously injured. His jaws were hanging down with blood purring everywhere from his mouth!π²πI called my partner to come & help. I rang Vet on Nebo Rd. A/Hrs Emergency, and dr Bill answered. I told him what just had happened. 'Bring him right now!' So we took 'Ninja' quickly to vet... But before that, my partner somehow had a different idea towards our 'Ninja!ππ²π¨π§ In a calm voice, he talked to him and was giving poor, injured, cat π the bloodyπ² 'Last Right's???!!! π±π¨ By saying to him: 'It's OK.' Ninja' for you to go to the 'Rainbow Bridge'. π Ninja, you are free to do that now???!!!'π¨π±π° I opened my mouth in a shock, while watching Steve's actions.Then I yelled back at him: 'Ninja isn't going anywhere near the bloody 'Rainbow Bridge'...Yet!π€ He's going to vet Bill on Nebo Rd. Now!!! I quickly wrapped up our 'Ninja-Turtle' in a towel. He didn't opposed it at all. I hold him on my lap in the car. Dr Bill was waiting with the door open, and examined 'Ninja'. 'A broken jaw and 1 lost front tooth' - he said. 'I'll keep him over night'. After painkiller injection, dr Bill took him away. We're relived that 'Ninja' would survive. In the morng I went to vet's, and dr Bill told me that 'Ninja' had his jaws bones put back in a 'place' manually by him, and that he should be fine. After injections of antibiotic and painkillers, our cat was allowed to go home, and to come back for stitches removal. As well, 'Ninja's jaws were also all taped up around with... a plastic tape!π€€ Just kidding! π€ It was medical tape hey!ππ for ... 3 weeks. Dr Bill said to bring him earlier if something goes wrong'... OMG... Poor 'Ninja'πΏ and poor me!π΅ππ² I had to put up an ''Elizabethan's Collar' around his neck, feel sorry for him, pat and talk to him. And...feed him by hand, and only a little bit of wet food at the time. He's got lots of TLC. Other cats were in shock to see 'Ninja' with a round, clear collar hanging out of his head and his taped jaw!π¨π¬ They're understanding though, and after curiously sniffing 'Ninja' around, they knew that he just came from the vet's! All ended up happily thx God. Today, years after 'Ninja's encounter with a car, he still wonders to his drainage across of our house, brings home dead rats, etc. But I think that he's learnt his lesson. He never crosses a busy road to chase tom cats. They say that cats have 9 lives and I believe in that! πΌπ» Now, 'Ninja-Turtle's a mature 9 years old cat, and he stays with other cats around our house, and I like that.
