My kitten has severe internal injuries. What are the survival odds?

Question

He kicked my kitten Kevin out of spite toward me the vet said the force of the kick drove his internal organs into his chest and he won't survive surgery and he's in a lot of pain should I go ahead with surgery is the even a slight chance of survival I just thought his leg was broken at first because he was limping can the vet fix his organs or not I need a second opinion she said she wouldn't mind going ahead with surgery but she knows he won't survive is there even I tiny chance ?

Poor Kitten!! Without examining your kitten and seeing the results of any diagnostic tests, it is hard to determine the prognosis. I am assuming he has a diaphragmatic hernia that needs to be repaired. I have treated cats that have survived that surgery but your vet is probably the best person to give you advice on the prognosis. You could always take the kitten to a board certified veterinary surgeon and get a second opinion. Whoever kicked your kitten should be charged with animal abuse. That is really sad that someone would do that to an innocent kitten.
