Grown man here 😢 same!

Yup

Great point

Exactly. I hate when these people bs on veterinarians like it’s their fault. Especially bc this woman in video probably didn’t want to pay for treatment of the stray.

yeah, vets aren't usually cruel or evil. They see the cost and time requirements, and just know that most humans would never put in the necessary effort for quality of life. Living can be pure hell for any human or animal in that condition, without extensive help. Adequate assistance is never a guarantee, but starvation and severe suffering is almost always a guarantee. It's incredibly saddening to realize that euthanasia is mandatory for a vast majority of unwanted animals.

Nine lives. I have a tom that has come back to life many times. His luck will run out eventually. Each time he comes home he pours on the charm to get nursed back to health. He must be a terrible fighter since the back of his ears get clawed raw. He understands the triple antibiotic ointment I put on him makes the scabs more supple and helps him heal so he sits patiently while I dab it on. They figure things out.

Quality of life is always more important than your own feelings. Why put your old dog through chemo for his cancer? When all you’re doing is giving yourself a bit of extra time? You can’t explain to him why he feels so sick from the chemotherapy. You can’t explain that pain away. It’s just pain for that animal. Of course, there are cats and animals like the one in this video but unfortunately, this is a pretty rare recovery.

Love makes a big difference

​@@AnadonAyleid They should remember to prescribe it! ❤

​@@AnadonAyleidtoo bad people don't apply this to other people

😭🥰🥰🥰🥹

❤💕💞👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Strong-willed kitty! Thanks to you she will have a nice life!

Sweet little fighter just needed some love😅

AMEN

There was a site called "a kitten is a life." This precious baby exemplifies that title. We can see that she is worth the effort. You did save her life.

yes

thank you for helping.. I feed cats outside and people run over my babies but god is big..

God bless this angel for helping this needy kitty❤

Thank you for for not giving up on this sweetheart You are truly a blessing 💕🐈

❤❤ thank you

Yep

That's beautiful, thank you for giving such care and love to that precious baby! 😻

I hope if you switched vets that you brought him in one last time and remind them this is the dog they were saying that it was better to put him down. I wound up bring in a 10 week old kitten who had a very bad infection and a broken leg. The vet quietly suggested putting him down and offered the other option of surgery to remove the leg to give him a chance. He's turning 3 this fall.

What kind of things did you do to help get him walking again?

Quality of life until you end up in the hospital and you try to tell them to put you down while they refuse to kill you only to take more money from you for being too sick.

@@Bethany342 They probably weren't suggesting it as their preferred option, it's just the option for most people who don't have the finances to cover surgery and a lot of people will put down their pets once they become incontinent, unfortunately

So glad you didn’t side with Dr. Death

I believe the spirit is capable of healing to an extent, so I completely agree!

This comment deserves more likes ❤️

They should have put her down, it was cruel to allow her to live in pain.

It ain't that deep

bro im fucjing crying

You didn't give up either 💪

Thank you for writing that because I just came home from a hell of a day at work fuming, and your little comment reminded me that it's not the deep..Thank you!

​@bbyneedscoke You are loved and important friend 🧡

​@@100192001 That's a really nice thing to mention. Whenever somebody compares struggles I feel a bit sad, even if it's the truth. Sometimes it makes things a lot worse when you realise how irrational you're being and it feels like you shouldn't be allowed to struggle. It's nice to have a balance of "things could be worse" and "things are hard for me too though, and I'm still trying".

She doesn't really have a choice

Judging by the number of likes, I don't think you're alone.

i really hope this was not done by human with malicious intent

​@@y53r1sliv1ngi dont think someone would put in the effort to care for the cat if they were just going to harm them

@@furrochurro i mean how she was paralyzed, some people can be so sick to animals

No, you are not the only one! 😂 ❤ I'm so happy that they ignored the Vet and worked patiently with her and she got better. Amazing and wonderful. I wonder if the Vet even did any X-rays or anything to determine if she had been hit by a car?! Seems more likely that she has a stroke or possibly fell from a high place, a tree or something and landed too hard, and possibly jarred nerves, so she was numbed and couldn't move. And with them working with her things got moved back into place again, slowly. Or she had a stroke, and had to recover and relearn and reteach her body to move. Either way, I'm so happy that beautiful cat recovered and is well again. For her and for them. She is obviously very loved! ❤

AMEN

I am literally you 😊 my mouth dropped when I saw her walking 🤗🤗

I was so happy when I saw her walking okay again.😊

❤❤❤❤❤😊

GOD BLESS YOU!

Some VETS like doctors are really pieces of ….. yeah. It’s like throwing anti depressants at someone because they feel sad. If they actually spent some time and did some work they would find out more information.

You are not alone, man.

At the end of the video, I could not help but utter a long "woaahhhh". This is one of the best shorts I have seen.

The most attractive quality to a woman about a man is his ability to show kindness and love animals! ❤ As a woman I will tell you we don't care about how much money you have or how many muscles you have or even if you have hair or if you're bald a real woman and I stress that a real woman only cares about what's in a man's heart because what he has in his heart is what you're going to get back and that is what a real woman is looking for I am very fortunate that with my second husband I got exactly that ❤

Lol me too 😂

​@@JigglyPuff777 I'm really glad to hear abt your second husband being so right for you!❤ My dad found the love of his life at over 65 years of age, and they are SO cute and inspiring to watch. They've been together for over 2 years now and it's still like they just met; giggling and happy and just puppy love!! After seeing him abused by my mom growing up, I can't even begin to put into words how relieved and deeply happy it makes me feel to see how he laughs and smiles so happily now. It's like he's shining!! I hope everyone, at any age, can find someone that makes them this happy (whether as a friend or family or loved one) 🫶

Yes same here. Just started sobbing when she was able to walk again

@@chenai8372sobbing? Mf you met this cat less than a minute ago

@@chenai8372your ass probably didn’t even remember this cat till I left this comment to the video

The vet probably assumed that the spinal cord was severed, and thought; who was going to pay the $100's for Exrays just to confirm that with the same advice. BUT, I had a cat was hit by a car and dragging her back end: same advice. Turned out it was a nerve hit & inflammation and over some weeks it settled and she walked again.

Idk sometimes these stories could be overdramatizing the story for emotional engagement

@@linmonash1244 been there with my cat. Pretty sure it was nerve damage too.. but it wasn't anything broken or out of joint.. I was lucky to even find that out because I couldn't afford the $100s for Xrays and such. Thankfully a local rescue helped pay for them when I called and told them that I didn't want to give her up but she needed help so if giving her up, to them, got her help, I had not other choice.

Not many ppl are able to save an animal like this so I think depending on who's hands she ended up in the best choice could've been different

Same. I don't think this is better, I'm😢😢😢😢

she didn’t look like she was in pain if she had been severely suffering it would have been different. in the end she completely recovered against the odds.

So you want animals to be living in pain instead of resting peacefully forever?

@@okameow5693Damaged and in pain are not the same. There IS a right time to give up with every animal, even humans. That said, this very obviously wasn’t one of those instances. She had so much fight in her, you could tell just by looking at her. And she wasn’t severely hurting, because she didn’t cry out when moved. She just needed a little love and patience

Yeah, i hate how heartless some vets become because of this problem or something like, it..

@@Tuxytheburritoanimationsan2002 I agree, some vets are very quick to go down the euthanasia route. Often its because they charge so much for treatment.

@@Tuxytheburritoanimationsan2002honestly i don’t think it was out of malice, a lot of people just aren’t willing to put in the work to rehabilitate pets, and she would have a terrible quality of life if she were still completely paralyzed.

No miracle. Just the nervous system taking time to rebuild.

how long did it take for her to heal?

@@maruftim it took about two weeks to regain feeling, another week to start moving the leg along with each step (but not putting weight on it) and about three more to get well enough to start sitting at the front door demanding to be let outside. In total about two months till she could go back to the barn. It took a while longer after that to get to full jumping power again, I don't know how long exactly, but she could walk and run and would not stand for being an indoor cat any longer.

That is great but she must have used up a life or two from her 9 lives!😊

@@user-tj8hv7vr9i she's far from the first to do that. For the first few years after me and my mom moved onto the farm the cats there were straight up suicidal sometimes. It's gotten better since we started neutering every cat we could get our hands on. All the crazys can no longer have equally crazy kittens.
