11/12/24 – Binx (also known as Gizmo) followed the rescuer’s young son while he was walking home. We were asked to help with his testing, vaccines, and neuter and we were thankful to help. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
11/5/24 – On October 11 I posted about Gizmo who was rescued in early September with another kitten, Baby Girl. Their rescuer, Barbara, was feeding the ‘ferals’ and these two stole her heart. Barbara asked for our help to have the cats tested, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered.
The one cat, Gizmo, seemed to have an eye infection, so he was first seen at Groesbeck Animal Hospital, so he could be treated quickly. Then Gizmo and Baby Girl went to Rescue Veterinary Hospital for full vetting, but the doctor recommended Gizmo be seen by a specialist. Well, two of the best doctors for eyes whom we know are Dr. Blasses and Dr. Zalac at Orion Animal Hospital. Dr. Blasses saw Gizmo the other day and diagnosed entropion of his one eye. This is a very pain condition which can cause blindness if left untreated. Gizmo’s surgery is being scheduled.- Diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
10/11/24 – On September 28 we posted about Gizmo and Baby Girl; cared for by a kind woman who had recently lost her husband. She became concerned about Gizmo because his eyes appeared infected and they both needed vaccines and spay/neuter.
We first authorized Gizmo to be seen at Groesbeck Animal Hospital for a possible upper respiratory infection so that he could be treated quickly. We then authorized both to be seen at Rescue Veterinary Services for vaccines and spay/neuter.
Upon seeing the doctor there, it was suggested that Gizmo see an eye specialist. Gizmo will now be seen by one of our “go-to” doctors at Orion Animal Hospital who I trust implicitly with eye issues. Prayers for Gizmo that his eye can be saved. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
9/28/24 – Gizmo (son) and Baby Girl (mom) were being fed by a kind woman who is on a fixed income and who started feeding them as strays when her husband passed away this past summer.
Baby Girl had actually had two kittens but one passed away and her remaining kitten has an upper respiratory infection. That is when the rescuer brought both into her home. We authorized Gizmo to be seen at one of our partner vets and he was treated.
Baby Girl will be tested for FIV/FeLV and both will be vaccinated and spayed/neutered when Gizmo has recovered from his infection. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
