POOR SASSY

Sassy our oldest and most cuddly cat who rides Ruby our horse! had a terrible accident today. I had a phone call from Jean next door to say come quick Sassy had been attacked but a dog, next doors dog a little black one called Jess. We have lived here for 5 years and never has Sassy been got. But for some reason today he must have cornered her or something, really odd as she goes in that place a lot. When I got to Jeans I didn't like what I saw and Gaby the owner of the dog took me straight up to the vet with her. She was breathing fast and wasn't moving. The vet was really concerned. She will have to have her tail amputated as it is broken in 3 places. She has a few broken ribs and fluid on her lung, her claws are a mess. They can't X-ray her spine until she stabilises. But the vet is now hopeful, she rang again about half an hour ago. although the tail will have to go the fluid looks like it will hopefully reduce and with a lot of pain killers Sassy is weight bearing on the back legs. So we will have to see how she goes over night and they will X-ray tomorrow hopefully, it all depends on tonight really. I am just hoping all will be ok. I just don't get why? If it wasn't for Jean, Sassy wouldn't be here at all, so I just hope she makes it. Update tomorrow!
