X rays were taken which revealed she had some fluid on her lungs, three broken ribs and a broken femur. She was given an injectable pain med and made comfortable for the night. Surgery would have to wait until the fluid on her lungs was gone.
Wait, my cat can be diabetic? PET BULLETIN‘Mews and Yips’ from the Central Aroostook Humane Society By Amanda McQueen We have some wonderful cats at the Central Aroostook Humane Society and they are all patiently waiting for that perfect family to come through the door and adopt them.
