8/17/22 – One more day before our 12th Anniversary and the serious cases keep coming. This is Aaron. It was late June when he was literally dumped on the porch of a rescue friend who we’ve helped with many cat cases. The person ‘dumping’ was actually caught on camera. The little guy was about 3 months old and appeared to have a hernia and it also looked like his tail had been slammed in a door in that it was crooked.
We arranged for him to be seen by one of our partner vets. The hernia was confirmed but Aaron was also found to have a heart murmur and suggested he be seen by a cardiologist before having any surgery. We then approved his cardiology visit which was done on July 27. There it was found that Aaron has an abnormal muscular ridge in the middle of his right ventricle which increases the resistance to blood flow through the right side of his heart. The doctor recommended treating Aaron with a beta-blocker to reduce the resistance to blood flow and believed that Aaron was able to be anesthetized.
On August 13, Aaron had his hernia and neuter surgery with one of the best vets in our community, Dr. Zalac, and he came through with “flying colors”. His foster mom tells me that he is now on his daily meds and acting “like the wild child that he is”.
Never think that your donations don’t make a difference. These little lives would never go on without our supporters. – diana.
Thank you for taking care of Aaron. Although at first I was angry he was dumped on my porch, I truly believe God knew what he was doing, as thanks to 4Paws1Heart he has a fighting chance to live a good life however long that might be. Had he been dumped anywhere else I shudder to think what would have become of him. Please donate to help other Aaron’s.- Patricia
