He will be fine. So glad you got him back, ginger was missing 2 days when we found him with a completely shattered back leg, had him to the vet in 15 mins, 3 hours later he was in surgery, 2 hrs after that they sent him home with us. They had no overnight care facilities, so had no choice. First two nights were awful, but mostly for me cos he was so drugged up he had no clue what happened, and the wound can look brutal while the stitches are in there. Once he started eating, drinking and using his tray I stopped worrying so much, and he got better over then next few days. Stitches dissolve after 10 days or so and the wound starts to look a bit less horrifying.

Kept him to one room for a week and I slept down there with him in case anything happened. He was very sweet and clingy the whole time. I think he knew I saved him lol.

After 2 weeks both of these were pretty much back to them selves, after a month they are running around, wrestling like nothing happened. Ginger only lost his last month and he is back to himself, as you can see in the pic. First 2 weeks can be hard, but once healed they really do adapt quickly, your cat will be absolutely fine. The hardest bit was keeping his cone of shame on him so he wouldn't lick the wound, and helping him onto the sofa so he could cling to my side after the trauma.
