Poor treatment led to the young cat developing a fever and having to have his limb amputated
A woman has been banned from owning animals after she failed to get her kitten treatment for a leg injury.
With the kitten’s leg suffering from the break, Flynn attempted to treat Auburn with an anti-inflammatory drug called Meloxicam, a medication that was prescribed to her other cat to help the ‘wobbly’ leg. With the medication being strong enough to overdose Auburn, weighing in at 1.7kg at the time - which would have led to a serious case of vomiting, diarrhoea, and blood and renal failure.
The vet said: “Although the administration of pain relief would have reduced some of the pain experienced by Auburn, the treatment was inadequate to treat a hind limb fracture. The negligence to treat the cat, and the severity of the injuries unfortunately resulted in Auburn’s leg having to be amputated.
