On Friday April 18th it seemed that the wounds on her neck were not clearing up as well as expected so she was brought back to the vet to get checked. Apparently, the skin over the wound healed too fast and trapped in the infection. She also had a fever so they kept her for two nights. Munchkin needed to be sedated and her wounds needed to be cleaned out once again. They put drain tubes in so the infection can clear up. They thought the type antibiotics she was on were not helping, so they wanted to get a culture sample of the infection to determine exactly which Antibiotics to give her. The vet said otherwise we could keep trying different ones and she could end up back there again with the same problem. Munchkin is receiving antibiotics, pain meds and a special solution to put on her wounds. She will be back at the vet in two days to hopefully get the drain tubes taken out and get checked. Our goal is to get her healthy as fast as possible so she doesn't suffer needlessly.
Even after all this and getting drain tubes put in, she just wants to be snuggled and held :) She is on pain meds but the wounds and drain tubes do not seem to be causing her any discomfort or pain.

In Conclusion, the vet seems to think she will lead a healthy and active life with no problems. The fact that the kitten ran up to a complete stranger on the side of the road tells me she was probably a pet. It infuriates me that rotten people could let an animal suffer like this! I better not say any more! The plan is to get her 100% healthy and find her the perfect home....
Thanks to Jaclyn, Mike, Michelle, and Kristy for taking such good care of her!
