10/31/24 – Meet Lucy and Ricky. They are a bonded pair of 5 week-old kittens found abandoned on the road, likely orphaned after their mother was hit by a car. They had obvious worms, diarrhea, and, as you can see, eye issues. We were contacted earlier in the month and are being seen today at Orion Animal Hospital.
Backstory: Pooh showed up ON September 28 covered with fleas and having worms. The homeowner took care of that and also had him vaccinated and neutered but then she was told that he had entropion in one eye. We’ve helped cases like this in the past and this is where the eyelashes are growing inward to the eyeball and if left untreated, it will result in blindness. Pooh’s finder contacted her friend who took Pooh in and contacted us. We authorized his surgery with Orion Animal Hospital.
Update: Pooh had his eye surgery and had his sutures removed the other day. He is doing great. You can see the difference! This can only be accomplished with your donations, the great veterinary hospitals who work with us, and, of course, the rescuers. Thank you to all and if you can, please consider making a donation. I know that the economy has been hard on many of us but, unfortunately, it has hit the animal world more than any other. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
