So I initially sent the four kittens to the vet on December 19 so they were there for 22 days obviously three passed away while they were there battling parvo.. I thought it was gonna pay an arm and a leg, but the vet staff pulled me aside and told me that they would be covering the costs of care for them during that time 😭😭 and honestly it’s so nice because all the rescuing and fostering I do comes out of my pocket like I don’t have any donation set up nothing so it was really nice of them.

Anyways, Bonnie is doing really well. She has an appetite she’s playing with her toys in a cage while on quarantine until she can get her vaccinations and be introduced to the rest of my cats

Parvo sucks. Thank you for looking after the kitties.

So glad that Bonnie has made it home. You’re amazing for doing what you do, and it’s so lovely that the vet covered the costs. Wishing you and Bonnie every good wish!

You've met a great vet, I'm glad at least one of them is fine now!

At the mean time, one of my family's cat is fighting some other illness. I hope he will pull through it too.

Bonnie Biggs! Welcome back!

And kudos to the vet, that can’t have been cheap.

Welcome home, baby girl. ❤️

That vet's amazing for helping you with the costs, OP.

She’s so great; sometimes I just messaged her and she gives me medical guidance for free from a video call she’s just actually in it for the animals not the money 😭

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Aww, she's beautiful!

Congratulations Bonnie! I was worried.

Pyro didn't do as well as Bonnie. Pyro succumbed to lymphoma on Wed the 7th. She went downhill that morning, we got a confirmation of lymphoma rather than Addison's disease, and she crossed the rainbow bridge within hours, smelling me the entire time. She got at least 5/8 good years, and one last night of cuddling me closer than she ever had. She laid on my face rather than my armpit.

Hydro mourned for about 5 minutes. I'm probably going to miss Pyro, and eventually Hydro, forever.

I'm sorry.

[–] Whitecat@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Awww I’m sorry for your loss but it sounds like as if pyro was lucky to have been loved by you ❤️

Give the staff flowers or something because that is crazy. Glad this scrungly little thing made it. Give her some pets or scritches from me.

100% I’ve never had such a great relationship with a vet practice this would have never happened in Canada 🥹

Parvo is the worst man. Back when I was a teenager my family lost a puppy we only had for a couple months to parvo

I'm so happy Bonnie survived! I wish her a long a happy life!

I'm so glad Bonnie is home. I'm so happy to hear that the vet covered everything.
