spina bifida kitten timmy

Spina Bifida kitten Timmy

We received a call that a smallkitten had been found in a park

and was injured.

Here is his story…

His exam

• The kitten was surrendered to our care and taken to our vet clinic: Basinview Animal Hospitalwww.basinviewanimalhospital.com

• There, the hospital team examined the kitten and xrayed him to make sure there weren’t any broken bones.

His hospital stay

• The kitten was kept at the clinic for observation and in no time had wrapped his paws around the hearts of the staff.

• The staff named him Tiny Tim… or Timmy for short!

Such a good little patient!

Timmy’s exam

• Timmy’s exam included xrays to make sure he didn’t have any fractures or broken bones.

• The “injury” turned out to be a twisted spine, likely a birth defect. It was decided that Timmy would be taken to see a veterinary neurologist to assess the situation with his spine.

Timmy’s trip

• Timmy was an excellent traveller for the 2-hour car ride … and seemed very curious about his adventure!

Timmy’s car ride!

Timmy liked the hotel!

And he got to play in the shower!
