[Animal News]The 15-year-old cat “Yixiu” was abandoned by his owner in a housing estate in Tai Wai a few days ago. His condition was far worse than imagined. He was blind in both eyes, his hind legs were paralyzed and his muscles were atrophy, he was seriously diabetic, and his liver was suspected. There is a tumor, but Ikkyu still has the will to live, can eat and drink, and responds to his own name. Enthusiastic citizen Janis and the “Pet Rescue Team” picked up Yixiu from the Society for the Protection of Animals yesterday and sent him to a veterinary clinic for treatment. Janis expressed the hope that Ikkyu can survive this test, “He is very serious, but not the worst. We hope that he can spend his last days in a warm home. I believe that all cats want to walk in places they are familiar with. It’s the last part of the cat’s life.”
Janis and her family found a cat abandoned in a bag in Tai Wai on February 25. There were new cat kidney food and canned food in the bag. There was also a piece of paper in the bag with the cat’s information written on it, referring to the cat’s name. Called Yixiu (Yat Yau), born on June 8, 2008. The cat was later picked up by the inspector of the Aixiu. Janis has been contacting the Aixiu to follow up on Yixiu’s situation. Yesterday, together with the volunteers of the Pet Rescue Team, he took Yixiu back from the Aixiu and immediately sent him to a veterinary clinic for hospitalization. Medical matters will be handled by Even Pet Rescue Team is in charge.
However, Ikkyu’s illness made Janis feel very sad and heartbroken. It turned out that his eyes did not respond to the light, his hind legs were paralyzed, and even his muscles were atrophied. After the veterinary examination, it was found that Yixiu’s diabetes was serious, his blood ketones had dropped to 6.x, and he had ketoacidosis, and he needed to inject insulin and sugar water to relieve his condition. Yixiu’s liver has a round black shadow, which may be a tumor, gallbladder degeneration, heart muscle thickening, and hidden heart disease.
Janis said that it is expected to stay in the hospital for 5 days temporarily, and the next 3 days are the key. I hope that Yixiu can survive. She said frankly that Yixiu is still willing to eat and drink, and when they call his name, he will respond, and he still has the will to live, so they are unwilling to give up Yixiu. She hoped that Ikkyu might walk the last part of the journey in a warm home.
When the cage rescue team posted a post explaining the situation of Yixiu, it also pointed out that the cat owner abandoned him when Yixiu needed him the most. The company of these 15 years was just a joke to the abandonment, but to Yixiu, the abandoned person was his life , to the point of irony. Volunteers hope that Yixiu will not be too painful, and Janis will continue to accompany Yixiu.
