Recently Adopted Rescue Kitty Who Survived House Fire
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2018 6:05 pm
Hi everyone,
My name is Kaitlin and I've recently adopted a little kitty named Mia who unfortunately was in a house fire in the beginning of October. Since then the clinic I work for has been wonderful in taking care of her and she's been a wonderful addition to my home. She had some severe wounds on her legs due to the fire, leaving her with only 3 claws in total (2 on one front, 1 one the other front) and on her packs she no longer has any P1 bones and is unfortunately is facing amputation of a few P2 bones early next week due to exposure through the skin. Her open wounds on her back and front legs are slowly but surely healing but after speaking with a specialist ortho surgeon, the next step to healing is getting some sort of custom boot for her to wear as all of her paw pads are gone and she will have some problems with infectious ulcerations once she is healed enough to walk around.
I just want to give Mia the best, most comfortable life possible and if anyone has any ideas as to help with that, I'd greatly appreciate. I've been in touch with companies who make prosthesis/boots for animals but none have been able to help me. Any ideas are welcome, I've been great things on this website but I have no experience with these things and would greatly appreciate any ideas.
Sincerely,
Kaitlin & Mia
