NEW ARRIVAL: HONEY! sick little kitten saved tonight now needs foster home ASAP!

Honey was found on road earlier tonight in really bad shape. She is tiny (1.5lb), skinny, listless and covered in dirt and oil patches. Her eyes were sealed shut with secretions, and belly distended with worms.  Thankfully we have not heard her sneeze yet, so fingers crossed she doesn't have rhino! she was nick named "Help" because despite her tiny size she has a very loud sad meow that sounds like "help!". She has been veterinary check, de-wormed (Pyrantel Pamoate), and started on a course of antibiotics. She is only about 6 weeks old, and still has beautiful blue kitten eyes!

*pictures to come soon

We currently desperately need a foster home for this kitty!!!! she cannot be kept with other cats, but dogs are fine.

please let us know if you know anyone who can help!

 

Diamond has overcome her upper respiratory infection!

        BEFORE                                      AFTER

(August 3rd)                             (August 13th)

Diamond and her siblings were brought in a box to be euthanized. They were all sick and had an upper respiratory infection, Rhinotracheitis virus. Diamond was the sickest of the group, she was so affected by the infection she could barley breathe. We were not sure if she was strong enough to fight off the infection, even with the antibiotics. But we gave her a chance, and to our surprise she responded amazingly to the treatment!! She has now overcome the infection, and is ready for adoption!

Diamond is a beautiful, elegant, petite cat. She has bloosmed with us from a terrified, deathly sick kitten into a playful, active, affectionate, healthy kitten. She is a joy to have around and really has an amazing personality. She has overcome so much at such a young age, and is just ready to relax and be a kitten. 

Piglet

Piglet unfortunately has fallen sick, on Thursday night she did not want her dinner. Over night she pooped blood, literally, everywhere. Friday morning i took her into the clinic to have a veterinarian look at her. Parvo virus was not a main concern, because she is fully vaccinated and an adult. (Parvo virus is a deadly contractible disease that has similar symptoms). A coprology was done, and no parasites were found in the sample. She was sent home with an intestinal antibiotic Metronidazole to give twice daily and Rantidine, with a Gastro Intestinal Diet (Medical Gastro Formula). Saturday morning i woke up, yet again to what looked like a murder scene. There was blood everywhere, and droops of blood in between puddles of blood/stool. Thankfully since Saturday she has been doing a lot better, and does not have diarrhea anymore. I am not sure what caused the episode of stomach upset, i am assuming she has eaten something funny. Not to mention she has taken a habit of eating mushrooms from my lawn. Although i had them analyzed to be no-toxic, i am sure toxic or not it didn't help her stomach. With the weather this year, my lawn has become peppered with mushrooms, which now i have to pluck by the hundreds daily to avoid Piglet eating them. 

Tucker Vet Check Up 28-July-2009

 

Tuckers eye infection has cleared up, we just need to continue working on getting his acne under control now. Which will continue to require twice daily treatments. His acne has cleared up considerably, but we would like to see even more of an improvement before stopping treatments.

Piglet Vet Check up 28-July-2009

Piglet went for her veterinary check up to see how the infections in her ears are doing. After two weeks for twice daily treatments. The infection in one ear has gone away with the treatment, but her left ear still has a minor infection. She will need 2 more weeks of treatment in that ear, and then hopefully everything will be cleared up!

Also she has lost 2 lbs!! She is on her way to her ideal weight!
