We wanted to let you know how some of the NOVA Fosters are faring and some new fosters that have joined the group. Your generous donations have made it possible for these poor cats to receive veterinary care.
First, Magnus is doing very well in his new home. He has gained 2 lb since he first came here. His main health issue is rhinitis. He has a chronic nasal discharge.
His foster parents are doing a great job with his nursing care and he continues to thrive. Thank you all for contributions.
Piccadilly came to the Chris Griffey Memorial Feline Foundation (CGMFF) because of atresia ani. This is a condition where the end of the gastrointestinal tract is not complete. There are various degrees and some can be corrected with ballooning. Our former foster, Jonathan had this condition. If you would like to learn more, click here
Jonathan had a severe case, but was fixed after 3 ballooning’s. He is doing extremely well now, and has not looked back.
Unfortunately for Piccadilly, her ballooning has not been as successful. She has developed a secondary problem call Megacolon. Since she has had issues defecating, her colon has stretched and is too big. There is no longer any movement in the part of body. She is having a surgery called a Subtotal Colectomy. Her colon will be removed so that she can defecate .
She will need a second surgery to repair the end of the gastrointestinal tract and that will happen once she is healed from the Subtotal Colectomy. She is a real trooper and appears to be bouncing back quickly from her surgery. Her foster mom id doing an amazing job with her nursing care. Unfortunately, it still remains to be seen if she will bounce back completely.
The Chris Griffey Memorial Foundation (CGMFF) would appreciate your help in providing Piccadilly with veterinary care.
