Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat's fall. I can only imagine how stressful this must be for both of you. Cats are agile, but accidents do happen, and it sounds like your furry friend might have sustained a serious injury. When a vet mentions amputation, it's often because the damage to the limb is beyond repair, which can sometimes occur in severe fractures, nerve damage, or infections.
It's normal to feel nervous about such a big decision, but remember, cats are incredibly resilient and can adapt well to life on three legs. In the meantime, keep your kitty as comfortable as possible by limiting movement. You might create a cozy, quiet space where they can rest without jumping around. Keep a close eye on them for any signs of pain, like limping, not using the limb at all, excessive grooming of the area, or signs of distress like meowing persistently. Also, monitor for swelling or unusual discharge, which would require immediate attention.
Please don’t hesitate to book a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. We can help you walk through this, look at what your current vet has advised, and explore all possible options together. Your cat's well-being is our priority, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
