Young girl came to me tonight. Her and her friends were out riding (horses) and they saw two kittens in a field in the middle of nowhere. Before he could be stopped, one of the dogs on the trail ride ran over and mauled one of the kittens. She did her best, she said to stop the molestation, but she was afraid the dog had really hurt the kitten.
I have both of the kittens now here with me. The little calico pictured only has a three-toed back foot which means that she was either inbred or its a genetic mutation. There is no wound, so it isn’t the dog’s fault for this abnormality. Both the babies have high fevers- loads of fleas and the little tortie girl (what is it with all these torties this year?) has goopy eyes. I have started them on amoxy- the calico seems to be okay- other than the fever- she is eating, the tortie is not. I call them tweedum and tweedledee for now-
Thank goodness the dog didn’t do any damage. The calico looks like Gizmo, from “Gremlins”. Poor kittens. How on Earth did they get into the middle of a field?
Precious babies! Hoping for the best!
