Jasper came in with a terrible injury

This young cat came in with a terrible injury.  Jasper is a lovely, friendly ginger boycat – how he’d hurt himself no one knows.  The people who’d brought him had seen him running round with this awful wound for many days and no one to help him.   Poor Jasper was thin and hungry, in no shape to survive.

We took him to the vet she said it was an old wound and was badly infected.   it was horrible to look at, you could see his muscle and organs inside him.  Unfortunately the hole was too big to stitch, the tissue round it had all died.   He was given antibiotics, the hope was that with lots of care, the wound would eventually heal.

We brought Jasper back to the sanctuary, gave him lots of good fresh food, wormed and flea-ed him (he was badly infested), kept his wound clean with hibiscrub and embarked on alternative therapy.   Aloe vera gel is one of our standby healers.  We also use turmeric, a naturel antiseptic which helps to dry up a wound and also promotes healing.  The problem is that as Jasper moves (and this is an active young cat) the wound opens.    He can’t live with a massive hole in his side – lets hope the treatment works.

Would you like to sponsor Jasper?  A small donation would help – we’ll send you a photo by return.  Many thanks.
