On sunday i found my neighbours cat curled up the the corner of my garden, I picked it up and found that something has happened to it and it is dragging one of its back legs. I took it round to my neighbour and told them about it, gave them the cat etc and she said that she would take it to the vets on monday (being closed on a sunday which i thought fair enough) Today when i was hanging the washing out i heard it meowing so made noises for it to come to me (as you do) and it came but still has the same problem (dragging its leg) If they had taken it to the vets would the vet had not put a cast / splint etc in it? (given that it doesnt seem to be able to use its leg at all)
I dont really speak to my neighbours so dont want to go round and challenge them about it but feel so sorry for this cat being like this. I would take it to the vets myself but just cannot afford to do this.
Can anyone advise if the vet may have left it like this or offer any other advice as to what to do for this poor little thing (and no, bricking it etc is not an option

lol)
Thanks
