Rescuing is a World of Surprises – Botfly (?)

8/13/14 – Another sweet feline needing our help. Our volunteer extraordinaire, Debra B., is in the process of a TNR project. This little one was rescued by one of the employees of the business and he plans to make her his own. She’s only about 8 weeks old and was found to have a botfly embedded in her skin. This is the second incident of a botfly that we have encountered. The symptoms can mirror those of an upper respiratory infection, neurological issues such as a loss of balance, swelling on the face, etc.. 4 Paws 1 Heart has paid for this cutie to be examined, vaccinated, and treated and when ready, she will be spayed. Thank You Debra and Kirk for saving her. She will have a wonderful life with her new dad. ~ dianaKirk's injuredkitty8:11:14
