Urgent Please Help!!! *sad update pg 3*

I'm so sorry to hear that this kitten is so sick. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his/her way. Please continue to keep us updated.

Katie and her mom, and the kitten, have just left the shelter and are trying to find their way home, though lost down dark and winding roads at present. The kitten (he/she is tabby and white) has been flea-treated, wormed, received fluids and nutrical. Katie has to give her fluids every 6 hours and pedialyte. The kitten's gums are almost white so the concern is that she is FeLV+, but hopefully she only has very bad flea anemia. Katie will take her to the emergency vet tomorrow where she will be tested, and either euthanized if she has leukemia or treated if she does not. The blood is coming from her nose because it is raw inside. I remember my Cattulus going through that during his URI and how worried both my vet and I were about him; it looks frightening.

Katie hopes to post later although it will take her over an hour to get home. She will also post a photo if she can.

Let's all hope that this kitten's blind wandering onto the road during her suffering was the beginning of a better life.

Thanks for the update. Many, many prayers for this little one. Katie, bless you for helping this baby. If he can't helped, at least he won't die a painful death all alone.

I think that Lizzie pretty much covered it all. They think he is feline leukimia positive. I really pray he is not. He will get fluids again at 12:00am, pedilyte, goats milk and sugar, since his blood sugar is down. PLEASE continue prayers for kitty, which if it pulls through, will be named Chance.
I am going to the emergency vet in the morning to get a combo test and meds. If he is positive, he will not make it through this anyways, and if he is negative then I will continue to work with him. I will have to foster him, but only after his hospitalization.
The shelter owner said that I will have to help pay these bills, but atleast I will have some time to get the money together. It could cost upwards of $500. But all of that will be determined in the morning. I will let you know if negative or not. Then we can make donations to the animal hospital that will be helping with this. Thank you all so much, for the prays and offers. I just hope this will all get better. *HUGS* Katie and stray kitty
