" Gerbil Paralyzed? "

[Octavia:)]

Please help me! I just came home to this!

I've been gone for the weekend, and my sister has a cat in our house. I've owned my little gerbil for a few months now. I always keep my doors shut and room locked tight with the cage sealed for protection. I came home today, and my stepdad apparently had left the door open or something..apparently the cat knocked over the cage He said he came in here and once he got my gerbil he was just dragging around.. I'm crying so much because it hurts my heart to see my little buddy dragging his back legs in the cage.. I checked him, he doesn't seem to be in pain but it still hurts me. This just happened today, he seems to have a little hole in his back leg and a hole about an inch from his head on his back. I didn't want to handle him that much so this is all I saw.
We are taking him to the vet tomorrow to be humanely euthanized if there isn't a chance and i don't want him suffering especially not being happy gerbil who can't even run away from things when scared or run on his wheel..

What can I do to comfort him? Please help me this is serious and he's my only pet. I love him. His name is Spencer

soo sorry to hear what happened to Spencer, I hope he can be helped by the vet but if not, the best thing may be to do the right thing for him. Take great care of yourself and just try to remain calm until he is checked over.
