Our family cat Pookie got hit by a car after a handyman startled it and it ran into traffic. I went out to help and found it on the side of the road, laying there. Its eye had popped the socket and was hanging by some cords below the eye. The people who hit it must have got second thoughts and came back - the wife was hysterical with fright on seeing it, and offered to take it to a vet. The husband said not to bother as there was nothing that they could do as it was dead. Just after he said that the cat made its
last "death" movements....which the wife saw causing her to start wailing. I buried the cat shortly after since Pookie had obviously "gone to heaven".
I'm wondering if there was anything that I could have done to save it. Apart from the popped eye, I didn't see any other obvious trauma (mind you the eye looked HUGE outside the socket)? Maybe it's skull suffered some extreme force ?????
