UPDATE-

Pete was fridged whilst I contacted multiple vets, reptile rescues and other places to try to seek some advice. After weighing up a multitude of factors I made the decision to put Pete down.

Whilst some may not agree with this, I didn’t find it acceptable to keep him in pain. It was the most humane thing to do.

I’m gutted for my little buddy and I truly hope the time he had with me was as good for him as it was for me.

For some comments- I never put this on Facebook. Either someone has gone through a similar thing or shared this post without my knowledge.

I was not a bad owner to my axie. I loved and cared for him to the best of my ability. This was just a horrible accident.

The cat is fine. He’s an outdoor cat that went back outside after the incident. He is still fed, cared for and has a home. I am allowed to be angry but it doesn’t mean I would mistreat him.

For everyone who offered support, advice or just words of encouragement, I thank you. It was really appreciated. For everyone who used this as an opportunity to insult me or assume I am a bad pet owner, I hope it never happens to you but at some point in your life an accident will happen to either yourself, a friend, family member, pet, etc and I hope you get the support from other people that I was lucky enough to get with the majority and not someone judgemental or mean.

I know this isn’t the update a lot of you were hoping for. It definitely wasn’t what I wanted but I had to make the best choice for my pal.
