This kitten was born with contracture. Both of her front legs are bent backward at the elbows. I have encouraged the owner to take the kitten to the vet because this baby can be saved and have a pretty decent life if it intervention is done quickly. Kitty will go to the vet tomorrow! YAY!
I’m glad the kitten’s owners are taking your advice. You have a great deal of knowledge, so it must be gratifying when you know people are taking advantage of it.
How is Mike doing?
It always amazes me that people will seek out Dr. Google before taking a badly injured or sick kitty to the vet. They don’t always listen to the advice given but this time, hopefully it will work out.
I talked to the doctor yesterday and they have found an abnormality in Mike’s heart and that is all he said. he just said further testing is necessary and they will be keeping him in the hospital for now. His youngest son Dennis flew in last night from Alaska and will be his dad for one day before he flies to Utah for a business convention. This frees me up to stay here and take care of the kittens as my volunteers also have other things going on. I know Mike is in a good place where they find answers. He is on some pretty heavy duty antibiotics for the UTI-
