Rehabilitation work is full of ups and downs. Sadly, we began to experience a down. The Serval kitten that came into care from Dargle started to become lethargic. After eating so well, she suddenly had no appetite at all.
Our staff kept the kitten hydrated and calm and assisted in alleviating any symptoms or causes we could think of. Her temperature was taken throughout the day and each time, it remained normal.
Blood smears and faecal samples were conducted to try find the source of her sudden illness. No parasites or infection was found!
Out of ideas, we headed through to Hilton Vet Hospital where we were sure we would find an answer...
The amazing Dr Martin de Scully and Sr Megan Sinclair took up the challenge. After also coming up empty, it was decided that the best course of action would be to hold the Serval at the Hilton Veterinary Hospital overnight.
She was treated with multi-vitamins and appetite stimulants, and monitored throughout the night in the hopes that a symptom would begin to present itself.
How do you treat when you don't know what's wrong?
We will keep you updated on her progress... ❤
We love what we do, and how we do it...❤
