Vet Statement
Vet Notes: 3:33 PM
To Whom it May Concern,
Saturn is an approximately 2 year old female intact domestic shorthair that presented to MACC along with other cats in the same colony as a cat that previously tested positive for Rabies. At this time, Saturn is neurologically appropriate with no obvious bite wounds. However, she does have an open pyometra and an ovariohysterectomy is recommended as soon as possible to prevent deterioration while on DOH hold.
Sincerely,
VET 991382
