Help Little Lady Live A Long Healthy Life

Lady was found on the side of the road barely able to walk with an abscess on her chin. She looked like she hadn’t eaten in weeks, just skin and bones.

Rescue Kitties of Hawaii had to step in so she could be brought to safety. She was fed and taken to the vet immediately. She only weighed three pounds as a 1 year old kitty, severely underweight. Her abscess under her chin that had to be drained and required injectable antibiotics. After extensive blood work the vets found that she also tested positive for FIV which has caused her immune system not to be able to heal the infection. And on top of all of that she has also lost many teeth due to bacteria destroying her teeth and gums.

The biggest concern for Lady was her back leg. She could barely walk and after an x-ray was obtained it was found that her leg had been broken in two spots and required immediate amputation. It was likely that she had been in pain for a significant amount of time as the bones were already trying to heal.

Lady will have a long road ahead with recovery requiring restricting all mobility until she is healed which can take about 2 months. She will require around the clock care to ensure she is not in pain and her wounds are cleaned and not infected. While her prognosis is hopeful, the emergent surgery and weeks of advanced care following after have created significant medical costs.

The upcoming days will be the most crucial to ensure Lady’s immune system can withstand. Any donation, no matter the size, helps give this brave girl the chance to heal and finally know comfort and love.

Thankfully, Lady has fully healed from her leg amputation. She got a very bizarre allergic reaction or skin rash. The vet said it's like immune-related and has recommended taking her to a board-certified dermatologist. So far, she has received an antibiotic and two steroid injections, which seem to be helping.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported Lady on her healing journey! She is doing much better and is anticipated to recover even more once her dermatologist gets her on the right treatment plan.
