Regrann from @littlewanderersnyc - Family! And now for the best Independence Day news ever! Dorian is being discharged from the hospital today! What? Yes, you heard right. Here’s his story. His jaw is badly dislocated from an intentional injury. While he was sedated, the amazing veterinarians at the Animal Medical Center manipulated it back in place so he can at least eat! He’s only 1 1/2 pounds when he should be 4 pounds so he’s got a ways to go! Here’s the best news-a miracle really. Our suspicion was right. His right kidney is filled with fluid and backed up also due to the injury (he likely sustained multiple kicks or hard impact) which caused a malfunction so he was unable to void properly. So what’s the plan? To remove his kidney! And that surgery will be done when we neuter hm. He is not an appropriate surgical candidate right now. So he will go home with his great foster mom, Linda, @southbrooklyncats, get better and gain some weight and then the diseased kidney will be surgically removed when he’s a proper candidate. The prognosis is good and he will lead a normal life. We think the Animal Medical Center is amazing. All heart and no ego. Dorian was nowhere near euthanasia and we are lucky to be in the position to take care of him thanks to all of your support and help. We raised close to $6,000 which satisfied 100% of his bill. Together we saved this darling long haired kitten who suffered unspeakable trauma who lives to tell his tale. This will be the third broken jaw cat Little Wanderers rescued this year. And we are only half way through the year! Happy 4th of July. Another life was saved today. With pride and gratitude, Little Wanderers PayPal.me/littlewanderers or Venmo @ littlewanderers.
