DIETZ – Found Very Sick and Dehydrated with a Botfly Imbedded in his Neck

Prayers for sweet Dietz. I received a call from one of our favorite veterinary hospitals asking if we would cover the medical for a very young kitten found on the streets with a botfly imbedded in his neck. He was sickly and dehydrated. The young woman who found him was willing to give him a home but could not afford his medical care. Of course, we said yes. Dietz was given fluids, antibiotics and the botfly was removed. He appeared to be doing well but a few days later was returned to the hospital in respiratory arrest from low blood sugar. Dr. Zalac, Orion Animal Hospital, and her staff successfully resuscitated him and sent him home with prayers. He was moments from death. At this time, he is thriving and will be back to visit Dr. Zalac for neuter and vaccines. Thank you to our wonderful vets, their staffs, and the rescuers. – diana.4paws1heart.org/donations/
