Another feature for August due to another STUPID owner!!!!!! 8-9-14 Little Angel - abused kitty - kicked We received a call from an emergency vet that a 16 year old cat had been brought in with an injured leg. The story was that a family member had kicked the cat because she pooped on the floor. The cat had been having diarrhea for TWO YEARS. The family member had a hard day and lost his temper and in trying to put the cat outdoors kicked her so she slid across the floor and hit a chair. Now, the cat was going to need extensive surgery to repair a broken leg and even more extensive rehabilitation. OR, they could amputate the leg. The family signed Little Angel over to Animals in Distress as they could not afford the expense and we did not want her going back to them. The doctors agreed that at this point it would best for Little Angel to remove her leg, so they did all necessary blood work, x-rays and an ultra sound to check her intestines for IBD or cancer (due to all the diarrhea they said she had). They found a hematoma on her bladder, probably from the trauma she sustained. Little Angel was cleared for surgery and in she went to have her back leg removed. She did very well and that weekend went home with her new foster momma. She has been back to the ER/vet several times now to have her pain meds adjusted, get an appetite stimulant as she wasnt eating too well. Her hematocrit had dropped to 13. Normal is over 30. She needed the first of 2 transfusions. More tests were done to discover the underlying issue. Results will be back on Monday. We are trying to get Little Angel through the weekend to see if what is going on now is treatable. Little Angel’s bills have already exceeded $6000.00. We need help. IT IS HER OWNERS FAULT SHE SUSTAINED SUCH AN HORRIFIC INJURY THAT REQUIRED HER LEG TO BE AMPUTATED. She will not be returned to them and the state is looking into the matter. EVERY PENNY DONATED WILL GO TO HER CARE. PayPal: animals-in-distress/ Mailing Address: Animals in Distress 238 Danbury Rd. Wilton CT 06897
