Burned cat suffered second/third-degree burns masking greater than 50 p.c of physique

The cat suffered burns masking over half her physique, and has endured months of painful and invasive therapies to advertise therapeutic — and her progress has been superb.
Period was present in a piece shed in Oxford, MA, in November, and as soon as the extent of her accidents was realized, Oxford Animal Management contacted ARL for help and the cat was transported to ARL’s Boston Animal Care and Adoption Heart for therapy.
ARL’s veterinary crew assessed that second and third-degree burns have been masking over half her physique, and therapy has consisted of ache administration and twice-weekly wound debridement to take away useless pores and skin and exposing the brand new pores and skin beneath to advertise therapeutic.
