Kitten in a Cage

This has NOT been a good morning. Last night, we went to sleep with two playful, healthy, happy kittens. This morning, we only had one playful, healthy, happy kitten. Our poor London was limping and crying and would just shake and cry when we would hold her. She couldn't stand up, and would just collapse on the ground. I took her to the vet. It's not good. Our little 5 month old kitten has messed up her knee and it's looking like surgery may be our only option. What kind of surgery is still up in the air. I have some calls in to a few surgeons to discuss options, and of course, we have to set a price limit on what we can spend. But this is not something that will heal on its own. So far today I've paid for the vet visit and the x-rays, so the cost is rising. For now, London is home and confined to her carrier. We can take her out every 3-4 hours to put her in her littlerbox and let her eat if she wants. She isn't allowed out, shouldn't be held and needs to rest. We have lots of pain pills to help her get through weekend. Here is a picture of our little crate bound kitten and our healthy boy, Swarley. It has been such a long morning, my head hurts, I've cried a bunch, and I'm hoping for a good resolution to this disaster.
