DIRTY HOSPITAL

we had to bring our baby in , a kitten , for a head injury . they treated it , did xrays .. it was just some swelling . we took her to a second vet as she became dehydrated and unwell very fast soon after going to VCA , we hydrated her two days on IV fluid . she would get these fluids and come home in better condition but she kept regressing so we had to go in the next day one more time for fluids as she was dehydrated again so soon (despite me having an alarm set every two hours to finger feed her recovery food she was given and help her drink) . they did blood work again and found she had feline panleukopenia . its a virus that kills fast and is only contracted if in contact with an infected cat . the second vet confirmed , since Maiko was ONLY EVER AN INDOOR CAT , and had never met another cat before , she had to have contracted this from the first vet we took her to - VCA Guardian . she didnt deserve this . she was such a loving girl 💔😔
