She has been turned over to us for care and is in great need of a lot of meds. My vet was dismayed by her condition and said she looks like she has really been hammered by this tom. We found she has a spay scar which is a bit odd and rare that a tom would tear her up like he did. Her esophagus has been breached and she has a really hard time catching her breath. Her lungs are overly congested but the x-rays didn’t show if there was blood or what type of fluid is sitting there. Especially hard hit is her left lung- it almost looks on the edge of collapse. She was running a fever, extremely painful all over her body and I just wanted to cry for her. Her condition was compared to a frat girl being slipped a micky in her drink and being taken by more than one drunken frat boy. She can’t hold her urine or stool, she can’t swallow without retching, she can’t eat or drink. We have left her at the vet and they are piling on the painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotic all injectable, because again, she can’t swallow.
Point blank Guys, we could sure use the financial help right now so she will round the corner and start getting better. It’s really in God’s hands now whether or not she will be able to come home. That’s how wretched she is. 🙁 Please help if you can even if it is just to order a calendar because all monies raised go toward the vet bill.
Just wanted to update: She is not doing well right now. She has vile diarrhea that freely is leaking out of her almost continuously. She is not able to eat and won’t allow assistance at this time. Possible alternative will be to put a feeding tube into her so she can gain strength back. Sending out a fecal to see if there is something beyond the attack that has gotten her to this stage. Please keep praying that she turns the corner soon. Bloodwork is another possibility being discussed as well as an ultra-sound but I believe the pressure needed to use that instrument would be more harmful than helpful.
I’ve sent something.
Will a Tom be this aggressive to a spayed female? Was she abused by neighbor thugs or some people somewhere? Poor poor thing.
I just read the update. That poor cat. Could she have an infection from the attack? Could that have started already?
She has been attacked by this same tomcat over a three week period- turns out. They are keeping her in a low-stress environment and hoping she will start producing solid stool soon. She is eating a bit now- AD with a lot of water in it to make a thin gruel. When she feels stressed, she becomes agitated and has trouble breathing. Just keep please keep her in your prayers. I had hoped by now, she would have turned the corner a bit-
It’s not much but I sent a bit last night for her. I hope she gets better. Poor thing.
