The action
Cat blood transfusions are tricky and expensive. Victoria went home and got Maui her labrador and took blood from him. Luna was going to die anyway, so we had nothing to lose. We gave her the blood transfusion and by the evening she was able to stand up and get in her litter tray. She was clearly still gravely ill. But the next day, which was a busy Saturday Victoria decided that Luna had one shot a life and decided to open her up. She had a uterine torsion, where 2 of her kittens had died and she was bleeding into this part of the uterus. A third kitten was alive. Luna wasn’t out of the woods, but her and her baby Mya started to improve. Victoria took Luna and Mya home and cared for them, having to feed Mya day and night, because Luna’s milk hadn’t come in.
