Little Bree Recovers from Surgery


In our last edition of RapSity News, we reported on our sanctuary kitten's struggle to recover after ventral bulla osteotomy surgery. The surgery was performed to remove tissue in Bree's ear associated with a nasopharyngeal polyp. For several days after the surgery, Bree continued to have severe upper respiratory problems. Her prognosis was grim until veterinary surgeons discovered and removed a second nasal polyp that had made it nearly impossible for her to breathe and eat.

Our tiny Bree is now back at the sanctuary and doing extremely well. With her new, hearty appetite she is gaining weight and has incredible energy. She is making up for lost time by exuberantly playing with her toys and frolicking with her siblings.

We are deeply grateful to the people who donated money for Bree and the wonderful, caring staff at Canada West Veterinary Specialists and Critical Care Hospital. Without the generosity of everyone involved, Bree wouldn't have survived. They saved her life and her future looks bright.
