Klondike Bar
Sweet Klondike Bar, a lost cat seeking help at BARCS, arrived with what seemed to be an injured leg. Our veterinary team discovered he was dehydrated with a 1-inch infected wound on his front left leg, causing significant swelling and making it painful for him to bear weight or flex his elbow. His fur around the wound was matted and dirty, and he had fleas.
Despite his pain, Klondike Bar remained friendly and cooperative. After antibiotics, wound care, fluids, pain medication, and flea treatment, it was determined that Klondike Bar needed amputation due to irreparable muscular atrophy.
At our partner Franky Fund hospital, Klondike Bar received the care he needed, including a successful leg amputation. He's feeling so much better now, and to top it off, he was adopted into a loving home!
