-Baltimore, MD
- Rescue Needed -

Pastel +5- 3yo female, and 7 day old kittens

Meet the Pastels! This family came to BARCS on 9/7 after being found on a porch, and were not doing too well.

 

Upon examination, mom was open-mouth breathing, and stress purring. She had an increased respiratory rate/effort (abdominal breathing), increased lung sounds, and it was difficult to rule out crackles or wheezes. Her abdomen was distended, she was very thin, and dehydrated.

 

We started with SQ fluids, antibiotics, and a steroid to try to get her breathing better, then we will pursue diagnostics in 1-2 days if more stable. A radiograph showed a large amount of gas in the stomach, and a large amount of feces in the colon.

 

She is being a good mom, but may be unable to care for her kittens adequately. Luckily, we found foster placement for mom and her babies the same day they came in!

 

For the kittens, fleas and fly eggs were evident. 2 of the kittens had swollen feet, that may have been from the umbilical cord getting wrapped. However, since being in foster, unfortunately 2 kittens have passed.

 

After a few days in foster though, mom and her 5 kittens are improving daily!

 

 

Pastel +5 are available for immediate rescue pick up.

 

Please let us know if your organization can help!

 

Thank you,
