‘Morgan’ update – Sunday 28/9/14.

 

Danica Mirkovic Shelter Felix

Morgan had the eye flap stitches removed yesterday and although his right eye looks a lot better than before the surgery, it’s still too early to say whether his vision is saved or not. Aside from receiving Longacef every day, his eyes (or better said his right eye and the hole which was left after his left eye leaked out) are being treated locally, with eye drops and antibiotic ointments. Once he recovers and stabilizes, his left eye will be enucleated.

 

Lets very much hope that Morgan’s sight will be saved and that he will be able to see clearly in the future.  If you can please give anything in the way of a donation to help Morgan, the other cats or the shelter in general; then please click and donate via the following link – Thanks – SAV:

Serbia: 19/9/14 – ‘Morgan’ Latest News – Operation.

Danica Mirkovic Shelter Felix

Little Morgan’s surgeries were scheduled for September 18th, but his right eye started to bleed the evening before and the leaking blood, although not abundant, lasted the entire night.

When we arrived at the vet clinic yesterday, it turned out he actually had a corneal ulcer on that eye, so he was put under general anesthesia and the same surgical procedure which was done on Joca’s injured eye months ago – a third eyelid flap – was performed on Morgan’s right eye as well. The third eyelid has been sewn shut over the eye to bring a healing blood supply to its surface, although it’s questionable whether his vision in this eye even exists, and if it does, whether or not it can be saved.

Even though he appeared normal (despite his problems) before the surgery, he had a hard time enduring the general anesthesia, he began having difficulty breathing and started to wheeze as soon as he was intubated and he nearly died twice on the operating table – luckily, the vet somehow succeeded in resuscitating him both times.

His unskillfully amputated leg and his left eye (which had leaked out already because of an untreated chlamydia infection before I took him in) weren’t even touched as the vets were literally racing against the clock to save his life; Morgan managed to survive the surgery but he’s still in critical condition.

The vet suspects he either has pneumonia, or has been badly beaten or has some serious heart problem and I can’t help wondering if I’ll ever know the truth of what happened to this poor baby in his short life.

For now, he is under antibiotic treatment, he’s being given Longacef and will be getting an X ray as soon as possible because it’s necessary we find out what’s wrong with him before doing anything else.

A huge thank you to all of you who have donated towards his care! Keep this precious baby in your thoughts and let’s hope for the best.

We’ve just gotten another kitten, a sweet tripod ginger and white little boy which is totally blind in one eye and his other eye is not in good shape either. He might be about three months old and is skinny and weak, so the vet advised me (after a thorough examination) to feed him a high quality kitten food, give him vitamins and antibiotics and bring him back for a checkup in a week.

As soon as he gains some weight and starts feeling better, we’ll decide about his future operations. His left rear lower leg has obviously been amputated, but we don’t know why or when. The bigger problem is that the surgery was performed badly and unskillfully, his leg was cut in the totally wrong place and his stump has basically had the skin sewn shut over the bone. What’s even worse, he leans on that leg as he walks and I fear the bone will protrude through the skin when he gets bigger and heavier and the bone itself might break longitudinally under the burden of his weight, just like one of Milance’s legs did.

In order to save him from a sad and dreadful fate, the vet will either have to make him some kind of a prosthesis or amputate his entire leg.

Enucleation of his left eye which probably leaked out because of an untreated chlamydia infection will have to be done, and it’s possible the same surgery will be necessary for the other eye as well.

But everything in its own time – for now, he’s eating, sleeping, cuddling and getting to know his new friends. We’ve decided to call him Morgan.

Molly

Molly is a young kitty girl that was rescued from a hoarder in the spring of 2014. Her previous owner, who is mentally unbalanced and had many cats (most of which were very unapproachable, poorly taken care of and unspayed) was even considering poisoning them to reduce their number.

Beautiful and friendly, Molly was rescued, spayed and then adopted and returned three times before she arrived here in July of 2014.

She is sweet, unobtrusive and gets along very well with the other cats.

Our precious, lovely old girl Marka is feeling a little better 🙂

She’ll probably only eat the pate’ form of soft canned cat food for as long as she lives but her appetite has improved a bit and she already seems more cheerful.

Let’s hope she celebrates her 20th birthday next year, which will be an astonishing age for a shelter kitty.

A huge and heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped her!

Update on ‘Shadow’ from Danica – 24 August 2014.

 SHADOW August 14

Above:  Shadow now – 4 months old.

Shadow is approximately four months old and not solid black anymore; her coat is scattered with white hairs but her sweet face, although more mature, is almost the same.

She’s still living in the house even though she seems eager to go outside, but the wide world she expects to find will be limited to the yard.

Extremely friendly towards other cats, she is having a great time playing with her protector and teacher Tinker Bell and both of them are incessantly poking their black little noses into everything.

But Shadow is not just a silly, playful kitty girl, she is a true fighter with an incredible and intense desire to live, she’s a precious little creature who’s been to hell and back and proven to be tough as steel when it mattered the most.

Maybe she remembers what she’s been through, maybe she doesn’t, but none of us here who have had the privilege to be by her side while she was fighting her way up to the light will ever forget her amazing inner strength.
