So, for some background, my aunt called me abnormally early and told me about her ~70 lbs., very young lab throwing around a kitten. I immediately raced over and picked up a limp black ball. Ran some warm water over it to find no puncture wounds. Then raced it to a local vet which did some X-rays and found a "possible" broken rib, but fairly severe pneumo thoracia (organs out of place).

As stated before, she was limp and black. Now I'm happy to say she is the opposite.

They’re so fragile but so resilient at that age! I hope she continues to improve and heals up well

I honestly thank the local vet.

She has had free access to food and the best tap water in the US. And only been eating since she woke up.

Best tap water - Portland?

Small Town Middle of nowhere believe it or not. Just got real lucky with the cabin I inherited.

Furiousa is adorable

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 12 points 6 months ago

No! She is vicious, and unwielding! Don't you dare try to cross her tiny gangsta!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Good on ya! And her! She’s got some moxie to get to you through a lab attack. All of mine just showed up and were like, “You. Feed me.”

Call the ambulance, my heart just melted.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 11 points 6 months ago

Yeah, little shit brings the heater. I both adore and admonish her.

[–] Moose@moose.best 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Adorable, hope that all goes well with her recovery!

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Just hoping her breathing normalizes.

Thank you for keeping us posted, all the best for the little fighter!

Shiny and chrome!

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 12 points 6 months ago

She will be delayed, but very much welcome, in Valhalla.

Your neighbor is your aunt?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Fairly rural area, it would've been a ten+ minute walk.

Edit: checking back in! I just jogged/sprinted it and her place is is twenty + minutes away.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

That's not bad.

Edit: You lied to us and have made a powerful enemy today...

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I beg for your forgiveness!

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Denied. I will meet Furiosa on the field of battle, let her bap my hands, and kiss her fuzzy little forehead... FEAR ME!!!

Aww, I love her! ♥️ Thank you for rescuing her!!! I want to let her chase and catch my hands. And happily walk away with them leaking...
