Update on Chappy

I had to take him in this morning to the after hours vet. They determined that although he has no muscle mass on his body, and no fat either- his heart is strong, his lungs sound good. Dr. Braat said all he needs is some “Mary Anne Magic” and he should come back to us. I hope he is right. They put him on amoxy, I am to push force feedings and fluids and try to remove as many mats as I can without stressing him out. (Thank God for seam rippers!) My friend Kim came over and she held and snuggled him as I worked on his mats. We got all the ones on his chest and back and sides, and I will be working to remove the ones onĀ  his belly and under his legs. For a boy who was fully feral- he is so sapped of strength that he doesn’t have it in him to show any attitude. I am also giving him mineral oil because I am sure he is full of hairballs. I hope he comes back to us soon.

Dumbledore still hasn’t eaten. His immune system is shot due to all the sudden and extreme changes he has gone through. His eye is now constantly dripping. I had to go in and remove the cat bed and swap it out with a cat carrier just in case he has to go to the vet in the next few days. He is an impressive growler, but he didn’t rush me or try to attack me so that is a big plus in my book. I have a lot of worry in my heart right now for these two beautiful cats.

This is Dumbles short for Dumbledore. He is a long-hair gray polydactyl that was trapped under a porn shop. He ate a full can of food this morning and growled at me! He is doing much better.

The other kitty also trapped under the porn shop is named Fletcher- both kitties are long-hairs. Both unsocialized NOT feral

  1. Chappy will do all right, I think. He just needs time and plenty of what you give your cats: food, water, comfort and love.

    I don’t know Dumbledore. Which one is he? He sounds like a tougher proposition – but you’ll do everything possible, I know.
