I did my best to do an assessment like I would for broken bones on a person, no yelping or indications of pain. i let him down to walk and he did.
You have done exactly what I would have done. Did you see if he would take any food or drink? Best guess is that it was just shock and he is fine. If stuff is broken he would let you know.
Yo, they get 9 lives!
He took some from the bottle. he has been off the bottle, but I figured he was being cuddled and might take some.
Yes, that is a very good sign.
If you think he might be shocky you could also make sure he's got a heating pad (low-level, not hot).
He is not doing any of that. I took him out if the kennel again to check on him and he was playing with his kennel mate. He is eating. He snuggled with me for a bit and I put him back in. I'm gonna shower and go to bed. See if I can make it through the night without checking on him.
Aw, poor kitty and poor you! I would have also been sick over it. Sounds like he's ok though?? Ugh.
Thinking good thoughts for you and the kitten, msbelle.
You know you've won at couponing when the cashier exclaims and then laughs at your savings. I dropped the price on nearly $100 worth of groceries by about 30%, maybe not quite as good as Martha Plimpton paying for two carts of groceries with a handful of change on Raising Hope, but it felt pretty good nonetheless.
The kitten seems fine this morning. Running, playing, eating. 3 more days with them. Fingers crossed for no more scares.
