Life Saving Surgery Needed for Sweet Kitten
Donation protected
Hello everyone this is LT aka Little Thing. When found this sweet boy, he was severely under weight, his eyes were infected, and he was covered with fleas and ear mites, and he was breathing very heavily. We quickly took him in to be treated for fleas, ear mites, eyes, and an upper respiratory infection. But the vet was concerned about his labored breathing and told us to come back if it didn’t clear up. The labored breathing persisted. We noticed how lethargic he was for a kitten and how he liked to keep his head propped up when sleeping. We informed the vet and he wanted to get him in ASAP for an XRay. We took him in and were greeted with some devastating news. LT has an peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia, and his case is pretty severe. Which basically means all of his organs are sitting in his chest cavity. This makes it extremely difficult for him to breath. Without surgery, she would maybe have another month left. She needs to be operated on ASAP. We scheduled surgery, but he took a turn for the worse and he is in emergency surgery now. He is the sweetest thing in the world and has stolen my heart. Please help us save our LT !
