Walter Santi had just returned home from work one cold winter day when he heard a strange meowing from behind his front door. When he opened the door, a whimpering cat came up to him, pleading for help.
The poor cat was in such bad condition that Walter took him to the vet. X-rays were taken, followed by a thorough examination, revealing several problems! Although the back leg was not broken, it was severely infected.
The stray cat probably got into a fight with another cat and got bit on the back leg. There was also a broken bone in the poor boy’s front left leg, which was now healing.
Ticks, lice, and fleas had treatment options, but surgery was the best option due to the severity of the cat’s injuries to intruders. The poor kitty was also quite malnourished, so the vet put him on a special diet to help him regain his strength.
The vet gave Walter a few treatment options, but surgery was the best option due to the severity of the cat’s injuries. The surgery went well.
He’d been through so much, but this little stray cat finally had a loving home. Thanks to Walter, he was given a second chance at life.
“On February 27, I went to the clinic again. After cleaning, I took him home. And we continued the antibiotic treatment and gave him intramuscular injections twice a day for five days.
At first, he could not put any weight on his left hind leg. I cleaned the wound with antiseptics three times a day. Walter cleaned the wound with his tongue 30 times a day”.
The prognosis was good, and with some time, love, and care, the cat would return to his old self in no time. Walter named the cat Lucky and vowed never to let him stray too far from his side again. Thanks to Walter, Lucky had been given a second chance at life.
If you ever come across an injured animal, take them to the vet immediately! You could save their life, just like what Walter did for Lucky. Animals rely on us to help them when hurt, and in need, so we must do everything we can to return the favor.
