The vet just called, they have no choice. After looking at the films they are going to open her up and spay her. Her temp is 105.9 but again there is no choice. There is a bone showing now in herĀ films and they believe it has perforated her intestines and caused peritonitis. They will not know until they get in to assess the damage, but if it has punctured through, they will euthanize. One of the baby kittens is also at risk- he isn’t breathing right. I told her that I had a bad feeling about this last night and she said they all share that feeling which is why Avis is now headed into surgery despite all the risks.I guess when she was at the trailer park trying so hard to survive, she ate the wrong thing and now, she is paying the price in a very big way. This also helps to explain the loss of blood she has gone through since birthing those babies. And that is the sad facts of what happens with cats get tossed aside as if they are nothing and left on the streets to survive. They do the best they can and sometimes, it leads to a very fatal conclusion.
4:30 update: She has made it through surgery and will remain at the clinic for a few days until her fever breaks!!!
The best of luck to Avis. She is in very good hands, with everyone doing what is best for her.
Oh thank goodness, prayers for Avis.
I am sending lots of purrs for Avis’s recovery!!
I just read the update; so far, so good!
