Wildwood Pet Network volunteer finds kitten in Rt. 50 (River Rd) along the Ohio River with 2 broken rear legs!

On 6/6/07, "Lucky River", a kitten, 8-9 weeks in age was rescued from the street by one of our volunteers. Both rear legs are broken. A special surgery is necessary to set the legs because there are pieces of bone which will require plates, etc. The one leg which is dangling may need to be amputated because there appears to be no feeling or ability to move that leg. There is no indication of internal injuries. Because the injuries are so severe we do not know if this is a male or female but the kiddo has spunk and continues to try to move about on front legs only. The vet has given the kitten fluids and pain medication to ease suffering. The vets expect a very good outcome even if one leg has to be amputated.
After surgery on 6/7/07, Lucky River will need a foster home with a family experienced in providing nursing and rehabilitation care. Contact wpnpets@aol.com if you are interested in fostering Lucky River. You can also help by making a tax deductible donation in one of two ways.
