[love our addi]

I usually just read what everyone is posting and really learn alot (plus I enjoy reading about Yorkies). Our family has 2 Yorkies (Addi, 1 year and Romeo, 3 months) and they are both doing fine. It seems like people are always dropping stray animals at our house and we have a neighbor that is always bringing animals home but does not take care of them. Well we usually end up feeding them and try to find homes for them. Yesterday I came home to find a kitten in our outbuilding. She just looked like she was sleeping but when I called to her she could not walk. She tried to stand but her back legs would not work. We called our Vet and she said to bring her on in. As soon as she saw her she said she was in shock and dehydrated. She also feared her back was broken. She did an X-ray and only saw a slight break near where the leg joins the hip. She said lets start some fluids and see how she is in the morning. Well this morning she was still not better and after blood tests showed an extremely high white blood cell count she was really concerned. She called alittle while ago and said she found she had a tear in her bladder. Common sense said to have her put to sleep but my husband and I couldn't do it. Our vet is going to operate in the morning to try to fix the tear. She said if it was too large there would be nothing she could do. This isn't even our cat but she just looked at us we these pleading eyes and we just have to try and save her. I just don't think people realize what happens when they drop animals off or keep getting animals and letting them run loose in the neighborhood. Our kids get attached and so do we. We can't really afford this medical bill and we do not want a cat but I am praying that she makes it and than we are going to find her a good home. Please say a pray for her tonight and I will let you know what happens in the morning.
