Some of you may recall that a new rescue kitten, Tilly, joined the Darquinn pack on 14 August. We think she was about 5 days old when we picked her up, so young that her eyes were still closed. She was put in with the other newborns and was thriving.
Unfortunately on Wednesday night, she went from a boisterous, playful kitten to being critically ill in the space of two hours. After much to-ing and fro-ing between emergency vets and many tests, she has been diagnosed with a porto-systemic shunt. This makes her blood bypass her liver, preventing cleaning of the blood and causing her body to be flooded with toxins.
She is now on medication and a low protein diet which we are hoping will work well enough that she won’t need an operation to sever the shunt.
Currently, Darquinn is running on empty and we now have a vet bill that we can’t fully cover, on top of all the other expenses.
If anyone can make a small donation of food or € we would be extremely grateful. Just follow the link to donate today. https://www.paypal.me/parellilea
