Jinx is an adventurous kitten who recently found himself in a seriously sticky situation. A good Samaritan spotted him and rushed him to the amazing team in Littleton CO at VEG ER for Pets assuming he'd been hit by a car. Thanks to their fast action, Jinx was stabilized—and even better, VEG was able to reunite him with his owner!
But the journey didn’t stop there. Jinx hit the road for a follow-up with our team, where we performed a full oral exam and cone beam CT scan. The findings were intense:
A mandibular symphyseal separation (a break right in the middle of the lower jaw)
Left TMJ (temporomandibular joint) fractures
Multiple fractured teeth
A soft tissue injury to the right side of his mandible
Despite the extent of his injuries, Jinx has shown nothing but courage and spirit—and now, with expert care and a little time, he's well on his way to healing.
Stay tuned for updates on this strong guy!
