Our first thought was that she must have been hit by a car. In great pain,&nbsp;<strong>Geisha\u2019s whole body was shaking and she could barely move.&nbsp;<\/strong>She appeared to have suffered severe head trauma. We were very concerned, as important organs could have been affected and her state could have deteriorated rapidly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our veterinary team quickly took&nbsp;<strong>x-rays that revealed fractures in Geisha\u2019s pelvis and several of her paws.<\/strong>&nbsp;We had to work urgently! The kitten was sent immediately to the Centre V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire Laval for intensive care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GEISHA-xrays-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GEISHA-xrays-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.spca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GEISHA-xrays-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.spca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GEISHA-xrays-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.spca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GEISHA-xrays.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once back at the SPCA, Geisha received the treatment and analgesia she needed for her condition to stabilize. A few days later, she was transferred back to the Centre V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire Laval where&nbsp;<strong>a specialized surgeon installed metal rods and a splint to allow her fractured paws to heal.<\/strong>&nbsp;A part of her femur was also amputated to keep her from experiencing life-long pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several appointments at the Montreal SPCA were necessary to follow the progress her recovery. Geisha was also closely supervised by one of our animal health technicians, who even took the little kitten into her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>VALUE OF THE CARE PROVIDED TO DATE: $4,200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>With 2020 just around the corner,<\/strong>&nbsp;your support is essential<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thanks to your donations<\/strong>, we can provide animals who have suffered trauma or who are seriously ill with the care they need to survive.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spca.com\/en\/your-gift-will-be-doubled\/\">Make a donation today<\/a> and its value will be matched to help twice as many animals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bryant-Mapes Fund will&nbsp;match all donations&nbsp;as part of our year-end campaign.
