ksmithGood news about Clark Kent, the kitty featured in this post.
This morning, Clark is alert but still feeling under the weather. He is dehydrated, exhausted, and emaciated. His crumpled ear is the result of an old hematoma that went untreated. And on top of all his other ailments, the poor guy has a nasty cold. But he’s hanging in there, and we know he’s receiving the very best veterinary medicine. We are cautiously optimistic that he will make a full recovery, given time and additional vet care.
We aren’t entirely sure yet what medical issue caused Clark’s near-death experience. More than likely, he simply had a horrific case of fleas, which caused severe anemia and weight loss. His “owners” clearly didn’t bother to deal with this treatable condition, which must have gone on for some time to result in an adult cat becoming so sick and weak.
CK's so-called owners have waived all rights, and he is now an official foster kitty.
