Maisy Tripod

Wednesday the 28th of July my son was walking up our driveway and noticed a kitten run under our house. A trap was set and a little white tabby kitten caught. She had some food and the night to relax before we handled her. On Friday we noticed an issue with her standing and took her to VetCare in Greytown. She had a high temperature and she was given antibiotics, cream for the stumpy leg and fluids. She came home to recover over the weekend. On Monday she was taken to vet care Masterton to be assessed by Heidi the vet and a plan of action for her recovery. Her stump was inspected, the fur trimmed and pet putty applied to the wound.

She is about 6 weeks old, the cutest wee thing and so brave to have survived a terrible accident to her right leg which is completely severed at the mid tibia.

Plan of action: orthopaedic surgery is needed to debride the damaged bone and insert a vitallium implant. Our aim is to help her walk again.

She picked the right house to hide under and we will be looking for her forever home after she is desexed.

Sad news.

Today Maisy went in for X-rays and treatment. However, she had been attacked by a dog and had bite wounds, a dislocated hip and internal chest injuries. Titanium implant went well but she just died after recovery.

Staff at Vetcare are heartbroken.

Thank you to everyone who donated towards her care. It is nice to know she was loved and cared for in the end. xo
