An Absolute Mess, They Bring Him Home, Fighting With Everything He Has To Hang On To Life!

He was right on the brink, they discussed euthanasia as an option with their vet but decided to give him a chance.

When Jen and her husband Ian, Playschool for Wayward Kittens, heard about two very sick stray kittens at their local shelter, they were determined to rescue them and give them a chance at life.

After bringing the two siblings home they found them to be in really bad shape, especially the male, Luke, who headed downhill very quickly.

Ian took him to the vet to have him assessed. The news was not good, “he was an absolute mess, ” said Jen.

“The vet ran blood work, which showed that his white blood cell count was abysmal and that he was fighting to hang on to life. Her suspicions were panleukopenia or FIP- both of which are very, very bad.”

The couple discussed euthanasia with the vet but decided to try fluids and medication along with syringe feeding, and see how Luke went?

A plan was worked out with the vet, and Ian went home only to have Luke bust his way out of the carrier and run off on arrival!
