Weight 7.7
BEHAVIOR:
KNOWN HISTORY:
Ditto was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home.
EVALUATION:
Cage Condition: Cage is neat
Reaction to assessor: Ditto was pressed up against the back wall of the kennel with her tail wrapped around her body.
Reaction when softly spoken to: Ditto is alert and watches the assessor with wide, focused eyes.
Reaction to cage door opening: Ditto remains motionless.
Reaction to touch: Ditto’s ears bend flat and she leans away when the assessor extends his hand out. She squints and tolerates petting briefly before hissing. Her body feels tense/stiff and she wouldn’t get up or come forward when coaxed.
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back
VOCAL: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: Skittish
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Experienced, adult home only – Ditto tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.
MEDICAL:
05/10/17
Monitor condition – one day post op spay/dystocia
S/O: Q/BAR. Hissing on approach with dilated pupils, did not allow handling. Dry food appears untouched, offered wet food and ate with excellent appetite
EENT: Eyes clear, no ocular or nasal discharge
INTEG/UG: No discharge seen around hind end or bedding
A: One day post op spay/dystocia
P: PPG given during surgery. Rec convenia 0.35ml SQ and simbadol 0.4ml SQ. Excellent prognosis
05/08/17
Recheck cat giving birth – presented with dystocia yesterday.
S/O: BARH. mm=pink, moist, CRT<2 s. HR=220, RR=28.
ABD/UG: Body of one neonate in pelvic canal. Cat is not straining to deliver kitten. One fetus palpable in abdomen.
A: Recurrent dystocia – r/o neonate too large vs uterine inertia vs other.
P: Unable to remove fetus with cat awake. Due to low likelihood that remaining fetus in utero is alive, administered Telazol 0.07 ml IM to sedate cat and removed fetus with gentle traction. Fetal cranium is very large and deformed.
Simbadol 0.45 ml SQ administered.
Convenia 0.35 ml SQ administered.
100 ml LRS SQ administered.
Schedule for OVH tomorrow if she does not deliver other kitten today.
Excellent prognosis for queen.
