How about some good news? 🎉🐾 It's time for a Ripple update!
Today was a big day for Ripple—her hobble came off, and she is moving around so much more confidently! While she still has a road ahead of her and will likely need additional orthopedic procedures, we're thrilled to report that her hip is staying in place so far. 🤞 Fingers crossed that continues!
There’s more good news. When Ripple was first found, she weighed less than 4 pounds despite being a large adult cat. Today, she's closing in on 5 pounds! That's over a pound gained thanks to good food, medical care, and lots of TLC. Even her fur is looking healthier and shinier as she continues to recover.
The current plan is to keep her on her thyroid medication for another 2 to 3 weeks while we continue monitoring her hip. After that, she'll have repeat bloodwork, and if everything looks good, she'll hopefully be cleared to receive the radioactive iodine injection that could cure her hyperthyroidism once and for all.
She's not out of the woods yet, but Ripple has already come so far. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared her story, and kept her in your thoughts. Every bit of support is helping give this sweet girl the second chance she deserves. ❤️
