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.
