Good Samaritan Rescue Kitten Update by Shann Ikezawa, DVM
Our little stray
kitten, now named "Lucas", has been doing well in the care of our
good Samaritan client. He has had a few ups and downs, including an episode of
weakness, but overall is starting to show improvement and signs of normal
kitten behavior. He is down to 2 medications daily and has been able to
defecate on his own. We are in the process of fine tuning medications and
evaluating for congenital problems. During his check up today, he spent most of
his time purring and a small amount of time yelling and complaining as I
palpated his abdomen... pretty typical of an opinionated feline! He has failed
to gain weight properly, which is concerning, but is strong enough to manage
escape. His owner reports that he broke out of his pen last night and climbed
up a chair. He was found this morning, looking innocent, as if to say,
"Why wouldn't I be sitting here?"
