Manhattan Center
Hello, my name is Fiji. My animal id is #14341. I am a male gray cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 years old. – P
I came into the shelter as a stray on 21-Nov-2017.
Fiji is at risk for medical reasons. Fiji has contracted Upper Respiratory Infection, which is contagious to other cats. Fiji also has conjunctivitis, which is also contagious, and palatal ulcers.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 5.7 lbs
BAR scan negative tense, nervous apx 5 yrs old male intact mod dehydration, underweight great appetite mod tartar broken uper right k9 wound on upper lip scab wound on rt side of neck abrasion on front and hind paws AMB x 4 BCS 3/9 NOSF
AS PER DR. 1382 22 G IV CATHETER PLACED 15 ML/HR 11.22.17 11:35 AM
Fiji had mega-paw this morning – (right front leg with catheter in right cephalic vein). Paw was extremely painful and had to pull catheter at 12 noontime. Tried to place catheter in left cephalic vein but cat would not hold still – needed sedation. Unfortunately, there is no access to control drugs. Gave 150 mls LRS SQ, and put “place catheter” as an “Overnight Medical Staff” task.
Cat’s IVC was pulled by first shift LVT due to “megapaw” and cat would not allow replacement in opposing leg. Given 150ml SQF LRS. As observed overnight, cat was drinking water voluntarily and calm in cage. Megapaw receding slowly.
