There is nothing worse than to hear
the squealing of brakes and the thump and then the cry of a wounded animal. This sound tends to stop your heart
especially when you are the owner of any kind of animal. The day that this happened to me I would say
was one of the hardest days emotionally that I had ever had. I have the most beautiful white cat with the
bluest of eyes that we named “Casper”.
Casper has become so much a part of our family that he thinks that he is
totally human. Have you ever heard the
phrase “dogs drool and cats rule”. Well I
can tell you being a total cat lover this would be the truth in our home. Casper had all the routine things done when
he was little such as neutering and de-clawing and of course his shots. He is
an outside-inside cat. He loves to be
outside to explore and usually does not go anywhere but the front yard. So when he is outside I know when I open the
door he will usually be right there ready to come inside.
Casper has really become attached
to me and when I say attached I mean “attached”. No matter what part of the house I am in he
is there. He will follow me from room to
room and either sits on my lap or curls up at my feet. I love having a cat that is so friendly and
cuddly but sometimes I have to race into a room and shut the door before he
comes in to have any privacy. I have never
had to go see a vet except for wellness exams and vaccine shots.
That dreadful day all those “accident”
sounds came floating in through my window sent my blood pressures
skyrocketing. I could not get the front
door open fast enough to get outside.
There in the street was my beautiful Casper trying desperately to get up
and walk. The driver of the car that
hit him was too running over to see exactly how injured he was. As I knelt down to see how bad the situation
was I could see that it was just an injury to his leg. I could tell that it was broken so I carefully
lifted him up into my arms. My husband
was there at my side and together we took Casper to the Veterinarian Cincinnati where Casper had been treated all his life.
When we arrived at the animal hospital they took Casper right into the
back room. The girl at the front desk
was so nice as she filled out the paperwork.
I don’t know how she knew what I was saying as my speech came out
garbled with emotion. Just a short time
later we took Casper home leg braced and all.
If you live in this area I would recommend this hospital for any major trauma to a pet and for any medical care that you precious family pet needs. You can find them at www.beechmontpethospital.com/services.html.
