Animal Advocates Watchdog
Felicity was rescued from an interior SPCA branch with a severe case of feline Calicivirus. We were told by the SPCA that she was only drooling because she was stressed. Felicity was sent out with no medication, only a sheet of instructions on how to care for feline upper respiratory disease. We were told to use q-tips to wipe her nose. We were told NOT to take it upon ourselves to take Felicity to a veterinarian.
Of course we did take Felicity straight to the vet, and with proper veterinary treatment she is finally rallying, but it has taken weeks to get her back on her feet and eating on her own.
Felicity is 3lbs underweight. She was healthy when brought into the SPCA as an owner surrender. She was in the SPCA for less than two weeks, just long enough to stress her out and enough to make her sick. It is a "miracle" that she survived the disease-filled SPCA.
