Meet Rocky😸
He came into care on May 13th. When we picked him up I was almost for sure he would only be with us for a few hours. He had a very faint heartbeat. He went straight onto my chest because I wanted him to feel warmth and comfort for the rest of the time he had left earth side. After about an hour he let out a faint little cry. I then went into action.
He had a horrific smell, after close examination I noticed he had a puncture wound on his neck. He was skin and bones and very dehydrated. I shaved and cleaned the wound, gave him Sub Q fluids, and tube fed him a small amount of Kitten formula. Gave him nutrical (high calorie sugary paste) Placed him in a warm bed with a heating pad. After a few hours he started moving around and letting out the tiniest of whimpers.
I worked with him every 2 hours for the 1st week he was in care. Cleaning his abscess on his neck, treating him for Giardia and coccidiosis, and ensuring he had plenty of nutrition.
His name is Rocky because he is our little fighter, he is a happy healthy boy now, tomorrow he has been in our care for 4 weeks. (He was approximately 5 days old when he came into our home)
He will be going up for adoption in the next few weeks. He has a small scar, but this strong boy will always have a reminder of how far he has come.
Below is a few photos of his progress.
