Spina Bifida kitten Timmy
We received a call that a smallkitten had been found in a park
and was injured.
Here is his story…
His exam
• The kitten was surrendered to our care and taken to our vet clinic: Basinview Animal Hospitalwww.basinviewanimalhospital.com
• There, the hospital team examined the kitten and xrayed him to make sure there weren’t any broken bones.
His hospital stay
• The kitten was kept at the clinic for observation and in no time had wrapped his paws around the hearts of the staff.
• The staff named him Tiny Tim… or Timmy for short!
Such a good little patient!
Timmy’s exam
• Timmy’s exam included xrays to make sure he didn’t have any fractures or broken bones.
• The “injury” turned out to be a twisted spine, likely a birth defect. It was decided that Timmy would be taken to see a veterinary neurologist to assess the situation with his spine.
Timmy’s trip
• Timmy was an excellent traveller for the 2-hour car ride … and seemed very curious about his adventure!
