Title: Another poor little one
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on August 19, 2007, 11:39:51 AM
Poor little one was brought here late last night and has been suffering from cat flu for some time; it seems he was dumped a few days ago and had been sleeping in the finders garden.He seems to be troubled by his back paw also.He will be seeing vet tomorrow morning. Meanwhile I have started a course of antibiotics,and eye cream and he is already responding to T.L.C. His chest is infected but he should be ok.
The people left him in the garden but  brought him to me when they realised he was a danger to their cat - how very sad that he would otherwise have been ignored.

Almost unbelievable, but I know must be true. I remember once someone rang me about a cat in their garden it had been involved in a RTA 3 days earlier but they thought it had died, then when one of the family was looking at the body they saw movement and decided to ring me. Thankfully after a few weeks of cage rest I found him a new home

at least in your case Ela, they thought it was dead - what sort of person would leave an animal, any animal, suffering and dying in their garden when a quick phonecall was all that was needed. Some people should not be allowed to have animals. Pity help their resident moggy.

But the poor little one had to lay in that garden for 3 days with a broken pelvis and other painful injuries, it does not bear thinking about.

Oh T...  :( How awful for the little mite. You can see he's not well.

He has the best care. Have you named him yet T? If you haven't, keeping with the native american theme: Wahkan... means "Sacred" in Sioux.

I love those HUGE ears.  He is just beautiful.   :Luv:

I have to resist a visit T, I want to bring them all home  :-:

Big hug from Aunty Ruth xxx

how very sad that he would otherwise have been ignored.

It makes me feel so angry - likewise with the cat whom Ela describes - but at least he is in the right place now, Teresa.  I like Ruths name suggestion for him.

It is very common for people to ignore strays both adult and kitten; they are either reported quickly by very caring people; Or reported when they become a nuisance or threat to health of the finders own pet.
We sadly aren`t the nation of animal lovers we pretend to be.

I have already sent a shortlist of names to committee,am awaiting final vote :rofl:

Hi T , how is the wonderful Dylan today :cuddle:

Post by: Teresa Pawcats on August 21, 2007, 17:37:53 PM
Dylan is going from strength to strength,his eyes are clear though still a little sore and the green discharge has left his airways, One ear is red raw inside as a result of the severe earmites but other than that I`d say he is a very happy chappie. :)

Heres a picture of Dylan one week on, his ears as you can see are still a mess despite twice daily treatment,good news is he can hear now and as you can see his eyes are at last clean and bright.

Look at him!  He must feel so much better with his eyes treated and I am sure you will get his ears sorted quickly.

His ears have been cleaned and canuaral applied twice daily despite a huge protest from him,yet I still think hes got sacks of spuds growing in their. Sad thing is he is now on the 5 days without Canaural.
Title: Re: Another poor little one
Post by: Christine (Blip) on August 25, 2007, 18:32:12 PM
When Blip first came, it took us EIGHT WEEKS to clear her ears.  So I empathise.

Post by: Bazsmum on August 25, 2007, 18:34:11 PM
Would he be able to go back on after 5 days  :-:

Hopefully he wont need to.....i always clean my cats ears with sensitive baby wipes....not as scratchy as cotton wool  ;)

Title: Re: Another poor little one

Yes back on after a 5 day break, and yes I use baby wipes for everything :)

Jut caught up with this thread. What a gorgeous little cat. How "people" can just leave an injured animal to its own devices is beyond me. I think think there are a lot of people that ignorantly think they are "letting nature take its course"  >:( With Auntie T's TLC he will beA1 in no time  :Luv:

I read on an american site that people are using hand sanitizer for earmites as the regular stuff is too harsh. I would be wary about puting it on sore ears though as its almost pure alcohol

Thank you, being able to see the transformation is the wonderful part of rescue which of course spurs you on to the next little one.
