An emergency at less than 400 grams

Wolt was a kitten weighing less than 400 grams when we brought him to Franco Vet in Craiova. His bladder had ruptured and he needed emergency surgery.

The first hours after surgery

We watched him wake up from the anaesthetic, and a few hours later he ate. For such a tiny kitten, these were the first encouraging signs we had been waiting for after surgery.

Back home

After he was discharged, we brought him home to continue his recovery. We had a follow-up appointment scheduled for seven days later, when his catheter was due to be removed.

Poncho

We received a photo of an elderly blind dog trembling on the street. We took him to the vet and named him Poncho. Later, we were able to share news of him being cared for in a foster home alongside Orbit.
