This week, one of our beloved cats, Gordinho gave us a scare when we found him curled up under the rain complaining without moving. We took him to the vet, who told us he had a urinary infection and was dehydrated... we got him his antibiotics and have been giving him serum every few hours for the past week, and we are happy to report he is back to his normal self! We will keep him under observation but are quite confident he has made a full recovery.
Gordinho loves to be around people so he is very easy to treat. He didn't like the serum as much, but he cooperated quite amazingly! we think he knows we were helping him feel better.
A big thank you to all our donors who enable us to respond quickly to emergencies, and keep our feline community healthy and happy!
Here is a photo of Gordinho taken today - note the shaved front legs, where the I.V. was. It's only a matter of time before the hair grows back :)
