To the Vet

That Monday (April 7th) Mike called the vet right away in the morning and they squeezed her in. The Vet said that with proper care and nutrition, she should make a full recovery. The Vet said if I hadn't found her, she may not have made it more than 24- 48 hours :(

At the Vet they determined that she had the following conditions:

• Looked like a possible bite wound on the neck from an animal
• The neck and sores were infected
• High Fever due to infection
• She had ear mites and her ears were totally plugged
• She had worms/parasites
• Her fur was so matted that she had to be shaved
• Mites on her body
• Very Skinny and Malnourished 

The Vet gave her a Full Exam and determined she needed the following:  Parasite Meds, Antibiotics, Pain Medicine, and Ear Mite medicine. She needed to be sedated so her wounds could be lanced and cleaned to clear the infection. They also cleaned her ears, trimmed the nails, and shaved her fur because the matting was too bad to brush out. We also had her tested for Feline Aids/Leukemia and were so happy that they were both negative! During the vet appt.,as sick as she was, all she did was go from person to person to get snuggled.  They couldn't believe how happy she was because she was so sick!

Bringing her Home

 After this whole ordeal she was still the most loving, happy and friendly cat ever! Because she was so little and sickly we weren't sure she would survive the anesthesia, but she came thru just fine. The vet thought she was about two months old, but after examining her teeth she determined she is about six months old! From here on she's been called 'Munchkin'
