Tilly crawled under the couple’s boat dock however he handled to coax her out onto the deck with some food. “She desperately wanted to eat” regardless of her important condition, said O’Flynn.
They quickly saw that the little cat was severely hurt. “Her eyes were glazed and she had insects all over her, especially on her chest and back where there was a visible wound.” They covered her in a blanket and took her to the SPCA branch in Quesnel.
“When Tilly arrived at the animal centre, the first thing we noticed, even before we brought her out of the carrier, was the smell of infection,” said O’Flynn. “She was cold, pale, dehydrated and barely able to lift her little head. It was hard to see the extent of the damage through her black fur, but we knew this kitten didn’t have much longer without emergency veterinary intervention.”
The kitten needed to be driven 90 minutes to the closest emergency situation vet. For a number of days she was hospitalized. After being shaved, the injury ended up being much bigger than very first idea, likely the work of a predator. Her tail was likewise severely hurt.
The veterinarian cleaned up the injury and got rid of the pests and dead tissue. At initially, the injury was too swollen and contaminated to close it, however after Tilly was supported she had surgical treatment to spot her up and begin to recover.
