Skip the Bobcat Rescue

 I was right in the middle of sending an email to LaWanna about some promotions she was dreaming up for the ChatBigCats.com site when Honey Wayton, our gift shop manager called and relayed an urgent message. A woman had called to say they had found a bobcat alongside the highway and had it loose in their SUV and wanted to know what to do next because it was getting pretty mad. Obviously this was their first bobcat rescue, because no one makes that mistake twice.  I called the woman who said her name was Nici and she said that the bobcat laying alongside the road had caught her eye.  Her husband, Skip had chased him down with a blanket, scooped him up and put him in the back of the car.  He was dragging his back end, so the chase wasn’t much of a challenge, but picking up a VERY mad bobcat made him a fury of claws and teeth. Nici said they were two blocks from their home and that they could just leave him in the car for us to deal with, if we wanted.  As I frantically brought up a map to see that she was 2 and a half hours away, I didn’t think that was a great idea.  I asked if she had a pet carrier that they could just plop the blanketed cat into before he fully regained his senses. She didn’t but her friend Lorie did.  Turns out that all three of them had visited Big Cat Rescue in the past and were eager to do anything they could to help save this skinny, crushed little bobcat.  My instructions had been to completely envelope the cat in thick blanketing and take the top off the carrier, if necessary, to accommodate the entire bundle, and then bolt the top back on.  I don’t know why that didn’t work for them, but I called Nici back a few minutes later, after starting Jamie on her way to Mt. Plymouth, and Nici said, “I hope you guys will name this bobcat Skip, after my husband because he is so brave!” Slashing teeth and claws be danged, Skip had managed to get a grip on the bobcat’s scruff and lifted him into the carrier.  Even though Lorie had brought over a German Shepherd sized crate the bobcat managed to go spread eagle over the entire door making it a real effort to push him into the pile of blankets in the carrier.  Kind of like baptizing a cat in a cereal bowl. They covered him up and waited with him while I called every vet I could find between there and Tampa.  My concern was that the cat would go into shock before we could get him to a vet here, so I just needed someone to do a preliminary check and stabilize him.  By the time I had called a dozen vets and a couple of rehabbers two hours had passed and Jamie was nearly there. Our old van is a 1998 and has seen better days.  It was shuddering so badly that Jamie Veronica had taken it into a station to check the tires but they were OK and the shudder happened even when sitting still.  I’m no mechanic, but sounded like a rod knocking to me and I was sweating whether or not the van would even make it to the Mt. Dora area, NW of Orlando. Once I gave up on finding a vet near the bobcat, or even on the way home, who would give him the courtesy of even the most basic care, which I assured them I would pay in advance if necessary, I began to try and sort out what to do when he arrived in Tampa. If Jamie didn’t break down, she and the bobcat should be back in town around 6 pm.  Our primary vet, Dr. Wynn had a previous engagement hosting a dozen people at 6pm.  I asked if I should contact Florida Veterinary Specialist or our secondary vet, Dr. Dave Murphy.  Dr. Wynn said she would call her clinic and see if Dr. Dave Danielson might be willing to look at the bobcat.  He had worked with native bobcats before that we brought in, and was willing to help. Another frantic call from Honey and Howard and I were on our way to the sanctuary to give tours.  We have a Free Teachers promotion going on and instead of having 2 or 3 groups of twenty showing up at 3pm we had 9 such tour groups yesterday and it turns out 12 groups today including a wedding.  It was the biggest single day the sanctuary has ever had.  It was probably good timing because otherwise I might have made Jamie crazy by calling every five minutes and asking, “Where are you now?” During one such call Jamie said she would need me to bring the squeeze cage to the vet’s office.  How we were going to get the bobcat out of the carrier and into the squeeze cage was yet to be determined, but getting it there was the first step.  As soon as my tour ended I trotted across the parking lot to the on site West – Boensch Cat Hospital.  I chatted with Jack, who was recovering in the hospital from a nasty accident he had with the front gate, while I loaded the squeeze cage into my truck.  Jack is doing fine and is living proof that cats do have nine lives. I ordered pizzas for pick up because I knew Jamie hadn’t eaten since this morning and didn’t know if the vet and his staff would be skipping dinner to fit this bobcat, now named Skip, into their already hectic evening schedule.   Jamie already had Skip inside and he was well on his way to a long, deep sleep by the time I arrived.  She said they had tipped the crate up on end and hand injected him through the grated door.  Within only a couple of minutes he was sleeping…or so we thought. On the x-ray table he began blinking and trying to sit up, so he got a little more ketamine and went back to sleep.  The first x-ray showed the crushed pelvis and Dr. Danielson asked if we wanted to go any further as this was going to be a lot of major surgery with limited hope of recovery.  I told him we had spent more than $7500 on the last bobcat who needed plates, so we were willing to spend the money as long as the cat didn’t have any cat-killer diseases that would make him unfit for release.  The blood tests were done and he had a clean bill of health so the only other obstacle, which was determined later during a sonogram was that he has internal bleeding and his spleen may be beyond recovery.  Only a couple days of quiet rest and careful observation will let us know if he is going to live long enough to have the work done. The vet tech Heather pulled ticks off Skip while Jamie checked his ears for mites, his fur for fleas and Dr. Danielson powdered his raw, purple rump, bruised badly from the impact.  Judging by his pearly white fangs we guessed his age to be around two years old and while finely muscled, he only weighed a mere 17 lbs. After consulting Dr. Wynn by phone, Dr. Danielson decided to take a lot more x-rays and did all of the other work, such as flea treatment and tests, so that in a couple of days, if the spleen is still operational, Skip could go to FVS for the precision plating and pinning necessary to give him full mobility. We waited to make sure he would wake up OK from the anesthesia, which he did rather quickly, and then covered him up to rest quietly in the dark over night.  Being a wild cat, close proximity to humans is very agitating.  His whole life has been based upon the knowledge that man is to be avoided at all costs. If Skip makes it through the night we may set up cameras to monitor him tomorrow so that he isn’t being exposed to constant stress. We have been posting his progress at https://www.facebook.com/bigcatrescue along with photos and we will be posting video soon. You can check on him there and post your wishes for a speedy recovery. I am very thankful for all the love that has been focused his way and if love can mend a broken bobcat, then Skip will surely be ready to run free again soon. Carole Baskin, CEO of Big Cat Rescue If you would like to help Skip and other bobcats like him get a second chance at freedom, please donate at the top right of this page or here:  https://bigcatrescue.org/donate.htm

Pale or white gums indicate the cat is almost certainly in shock and may have seri...ous internal injuries and/or bleeding. If the gums are pink the cat is probably not in shock.Step 2: Place the cat on its side on a blanket, towel, or jacket with its head extended.Step 3: Clear the cat's airway.Step 3a: Place one hand over the cat's head so that your thumb and index finger fall just behind the long canines (fang teeth), the head resting against your palm.Step 3b: Gently tilt the cat's head back so its nose is pointing upward. Push your thumb toward your finger; the mouth will open.Step 3c: Gently pull out the cat's tongue to keep the airway open. If the cat resists your attempt to pull the tongue out, do not repeat Step 3.Step 4: Elevate the cat's hindquarters slightly by placing them on a pillow or folded towel.Step 5: Stop the bleeding immediately.Step 6: To conserve body heat, wrap the cat in a blanket or jacket.Step 7: Transport the cat to the veterinarian immediately.See MoreDecember 28, 2010 at 2:09pmoJennifer HarmonHere's the thing- most likely the vets won't treat the animal "until someone gets there" because they don't want to be stuck with an abandoned bobcat or (even worse in their eyes) the bill if no one shows up or follows through. It's total c...rap. They're not afraid of the cat, theres ways of dealing with even the most fractious animals- and if its shocky enough to have been able to be crated, there is no issue!!! they're afraid of losing $. I've been working in the veterinary business (and I totally mean it when I use that word "business") for many years, and am getting out of it to do law enforcement (animal control) cuz I just can't take the corruption and profiteering that goes on anymore. Some situations require special action. Regardless the outcome, you think it would be good PR for a vet to do this!!! Ugh, I get so disgusted talking about this. Best luck, kitty, and Godspeed.See MoreDecember 28, 2010 at 2:11pmoTed Heine It makes me so angry that "vets" are not bound by the same ethical and moral considerations as human doctors.

I was trying to save two one week old kittens. They got to where they wouldn't eat and were crying all the time. I called a local vet but they wouldn't see the kittens because they were clos...ing early. I then called a vet 30 miles away and they told me to bring the kittens right in. One died before I got there but the vet did check out the other though didn't give me much hope. The point is that this vet at least took the time to try to help. Needless to say, this is the vet I take all my animals to now even though it's further for me to travel.See MoreWednesday at 12:02amoBobbie Tharp Carter I hope you found someone.

That's a real tough one, especially with a heavier boned, stocky, wild feline. Are they able to discern the source of the internal bleeding and correct i...t?

His legs look OK. It's broken in a very bad spot though, so I don't know if there is much the surgeons can do. We will give him every opportunity at a second chance at freedom.

We also had a plate & screws inserted to repair the damage done. It's week 5 and my dog is playing with his kitty play...mates and uses his leg now and acts totally normal. He only picks it up when he runs away from me to play, which he is quickly told to calm down so he doesn't over-do it. So, if Skips internal organs are not too badly traumatized I have high hopes for his recovery! Thanks again to BCR, the rescuers & the vet & staff for the love & care Skip is receiving now! ? ? ?

We are consulting other bone specialists before we give up. He got fluids and is eating well but not urinating or defecating so we are worried that he can't; which means even cage rest can't help.

However I am still mindful of the fact that a wild cat after being so wounded whether the pain is m...asked or not is probably far from comfortable, think of the fear and terror you would experience being poked and prodded by giant naked apes who can'y speak your language. My grandest hope for Skip is that he will have peace in some form or another, because I am quite sure he does not know anything of love in his current condition. Bravo for BCR doing their best and fighting for the little guy's life, but it is silly to try and tell ourselves that he knows they are there to help.See MoreWednesday at 8:55pmoRondi Kay Abbott Never give up!!!

Sending Lots of Love & Healing Vibes ? Years ago a feral cat in our neighborhood who visited occasionally for food showed up on my doorstep with a fractured pelvis. While his injury wasn't as bad as Skip's, I couldn't afford surgery and pins. The vet suggested I keep him caged for 2 months and let it heal itself. It worked and within a few months he jumped and ran like he never had an injury and did so for over a decade. I will pray for Skip. ?Thursday at 12:39amoBrian Howle And yet, somewhere out there, Justin Bieber is yet again going on stage?

It has 22 screws and 4 plates but it works about half way. I also have 3 crushed fused vertabrae. The pain never goes away without narcotics. If Little Skip makes it he has a hard life in front of him. At least... he will be able to do it at BCR where he will be cared for really well. But a cat is not a human. It remains to be seen if he will have the quality of life a wild cat should have. There are so many unknown factors. It is so difficult to know what is best. But still I salute you BCR and I will support you with money as best as I can. You are wonderful.See More22 hours agooCheryl McClary Sending prayers and LOVE ? for this lil guy.

Praying for ya!3 minutes ago · LikeI was right in the middle of sending an email to LaWanna about some promotions she was dreaming up for the ChatBigCats.com site when Honey Wayton, our gift shop manager called and relayed an urgent message.A woman had called to say they had found a bobcat alongside the highway and had it loose in their SUV and wanted to know what to do next because it was getting pretty mad.Obviously this was their first bobcat rescue, because no one makes that mistake twice.  I called the woman who said her name was Nici and she said that the bobcat laying alongside the road had caught her eye.  Her husband, Skip had chased him down with a blanket, scooped him up and put him in the back of the car.  He was dragging his back end, so the chase wasn’t much of a challenge, but picking up a VERY mad bobcat made him a fury of claws and teeth.Nici said they were two blocks from their home and that they could just leave him in the car for us to deal with, if we wanted.  As I frantically brought up a map to see that she was 2 and a half hours away, I didn’t think that was a great idea.  I asked if she had a pet carrier that they could just plop the blanketed cat into before he fully regained his senses.She didn’t but her friend Lorie did.  Turns out that all three of them had visited Big Cat Rescue in the past and were eager to do anything they could to help save this skinny, crushed little bobcat.  My instructions had been to completely envelope the cat in thick blanketing and take the top off the carrier, if necessary, to accommodate the entire bundle, and then bolt the top back on.  I don’t know why that didn’t work for them, but I called Nici back a few minutes later, after starting Jamie on her way to Mt. Plymouth, and Nici said, “I hope you guys will name this bobcat Skip, after my husband because he is so brave!”Slashing teeth and claws be danged, Skip had managed to get a grip on the bobcat’s scruff and lifted him into the carrier.  Even though Lorie had brought over a German Shepherd sized crate the bobcat managed to go spread eagle over the entire door making it a real effort to push him into the pile of blankets in the carrier.  Kind of like baptizing a cat in a cereal bowl.They covered him up and waited with him while I called every vet I could find between there and Tampa.  My concern was that the cat would go into shock before we could get him to a vet here, so I just needed someone to do a preliminary check and stabilize him.  By the time I had called a dozen vets and a couple of rehabbers two hours had passed and Jamie was nearly there.Our old van is a 1998 and has seen better days.  It was shuddering so badly that Jamie Veronica had taken it into a station to check the tires but they were OK and the shudder happened even when sitting still.  I’m no mechanic, but sounded like a rod knocking to me and I was sweating whether or not the van would even make it to the Mt. Dora area, NW of Orlando.Once I gave up on finding a vet near the bobcat, or even on the way home, who would give him the courtesy of even the most basic care, which I assured them I would pay in advance if necessary, I began to try and sort out what to do when he arrived in Tampa.If Jamie didn’t break down, she and the bobcat should be back in town around 6 pm.  Our primary vet, Dr. Wynn had a previous engagement hosting a dozen people at 6pm.  I asked if I should contact Florida Veterinary Specialist or our secondary vet, Dr. Dave Murphy.  Dr. Wynn said she would call her clinic and see if Dr. Dave Danielson might be willing to look at the bobcat.  He had worked with native bobcats before that we brought in, and was willing to help.Another frantic call from Honey and Howard and I were on our way to the sanctuary to give tours.  We have a Free Teachers promotion going on and instead of having 2 or 3 groups of twenty showing up at 3pm we had 9 such tour groups yesterday and it turns out 12 groups today including a wedding.  It was the biggest single day the sanctuary has ever had.  It was probably good timing because otherwise I might have made Jamie crazy by calling every five minutes and asking, “Where are you now?”During one such call Jamie said she would need me to bring the squeeze cage to the vet’s office.  How we were going to get the bobcat out of the carrier and into the squeeze cage was yet to be determined, but getting it there was the first step.  As soon as my tour ended I trotted across the parking lot to the on site West – Boensch Cat Hospital.  I chatted with Jack, who was recovering in the hospital from a nasty accident he had with the front gate, while I loaded the squeeze cage into my truck.  Jack is doing fine and is living proof that cats do have nine lives.I ordered pizzas for pick up because I knew Jamie hadn’t eaten since this morning and didn’t know if the vet and his staff would be skipping dinner to fit this bobcat, now named Skip, into their already hectic evening schedule.   Jamie already had Skip inside and he was well on his way to a long, deep sleep by the time I arrived.  She said they had tipped the crate up on end and hand injected him through the grated door.  Within only a couple of minutes he was sleeping…or so we thought.On the x-ray table he began blinking and trying to sit up, so he got a little more ketamine and went back to sleep.  The first x-ray showed the crushed pelvis and Dr. Danielson asked if we wanted to go any further as this was going to be a lot of major surgery with limited hope of recovery.  I told him we had spent more than $7500 on the last bobcat who needed plates, so we were willing to spend the money as long as the cat didn’t have any cat-killer diseases that would make him unfit for release.  The blood tests were done and he had a clean bill of health so the only other obstacle, which was determined later during a sonogram was that he has internal bleeding and his spleen may be beyond recovery.  Only a couple days of quiet rest and careful observation will let us know if he is going to live long enough to have the work done.The vet tech Heather pulled ticks off Skip while Jamie checked his ears for mites, his fur for fleas and Dr. Danielson powdered his raw, purple rump, bruised badly from the impact.  Judging by his pearly white fangs we guessed his age to be around two years old and while finely muscled, he only weighed a mere 17 lbs.After consulting Dr. Wynn by phone, Dr. Danielson decided to take a lot more x-rays and did all of the other work, such as flea treatment and tests, so that in a couple of days, if the spleen is still operational, Skip could go to FVS for the precision plating and pinning necessary to give him full mobility.We waited to make sure he would wake up OK from the anesthesia, which he did rather quickly, and then covered him up to rest quietly in the dark over night.  Being a wild cat, close proximity to humans is very agitating.  His whole life has been based upon the knowledge that man is to be avoided at all costs.If Skip makes it through the night we may set up cameras to monitor him tomorrow so that he isn’t being exposed to constant stress.We have been posting his progress at https://www.facebook.com/bigcatrescue along with photos and we will be posting video soon.You can check on him there and post your wishes for a speedy recovery.I am very thankful for all the love that has been focused his way and if love can mend a broken bobcat, then Skip will surely be ready to run free again soon.Carole Baskin, CEO of Big Cat RescueIf you would like to help Skip and other bobcats like him get a second chance at freedom, please donate at the top right of this page or here:  https://bigcatrescue.org/donate.htm

Pale or white gums indicate the cat is almost certainly in shock and may have seri...ous internal injuries and/or bleeding. If the gums are pink the cat is probably not in shock.Step 2: Place the cat on its side on a blanket, towel, or jacket with its head extended.Step 3: Clear the cat's airway.Step 3a: Place one hand over the cat's head so that your thumb and index finger fall just behind the long canines (fang teeth), the head resting against your palm.Step 3b: Gently tilt the cat's head back so its nose is pointing upward. Push your thumb toward your finger; the mouth will open.Step 3c: Gently pull out the cat's tongue to keep the airway open. If the cat resists your attempt to pull the tongue out, do not repeat Step 3.Step 4: Elevate the cat's hindquarters slightly by placing them on a pillow or folded towel.Step 5: Stop the bleeding immediately.Step 6: To conserve body heat, wrap the cat in a blanket or jacket.Step 7: Transport the cat to the veterinarian immediately.See MoreDecember 28, 2010 at 2:09pmoJennifer HarmonHere's the thing- most likely the vets won't treat the animal "until someone gets there" because they don't want to be stuck with an abandoned bobcat or (even worse in their eyes) the bill if no one shows up or follows through. It's total c...rap. They're not afraid of the cat, theres ways of dealing with even the most fractious animals- and if its shocky enough to have been able to be crated, there is no issue!!! they're afraid of losing $. I've been working in the veterinary business (and I totally mean it when I use that word "business") for many years, and am getting out of it to do law enforcement (animal control) cuz I just can't take the corruption and profiteering that goes on anymore. Some situations require special action. Regardless the outcome, you think it would be good PR for a vet to do this!!! Ugh, I get so disgusted talking about this. Best luck, kitty, and Godspeed.See MoreDecember 28, 2010 at 2:11pmoTed Heine It makes me so angry that "vets" are not bound by the same ethical and moral considerations as human doctors.

One died before I got there but the vet did check out the other though didn't give me much hope. The point is that this vet at least took the time to try to help.

His legs look OK. It's broken in a very bad spot though, so I don't know if there is much the surgeons can do. We will give him every opportunity at a second chance at freedom. Bellona's surgeries were more than 7500.00 but we will spend that to help him be free again, if we have to.December 28, 2010 at 8:38pmoMary-Ann Roach Everyone who has 'friended' BCR knows you'll do all you can.

However, I do know of many times (in my state) they have helped with securing & even transporting injured animals (especially when a medical plan is in place).

I will say prayers for him & a speedy recovery...Thursday at 10:05amoElizabeth MeadeAs I posted on other updates about Skip, my dog just went through this same thing, infact his x-ray was nearly identical! We also had a plate & screws inserted to repair the damage done. It's week 5 and my dog is playing with his kitty play...mates and uses his leg now and acts totally normal. He only picks it up when he runs away from me to play, which he is quickly told to calm down so he doesn't over-do it. So, if Skips internal organs are not too badly traumatized I have high hopes for his recovery! Thanks again to BCR, the rescuers & the vet & staff for the love & care Skip is receiving now! ? ? ?

We are consulting other bone specialists before we give up. He got fluids and is eating well but not urinating or defecating so we are worried that he can't; which means even cage rest can't help.

My grandest hope for Skip is that he will have peace in some form or another, because I am quite sure he does not know anything of love in his current condition.

Sending Lots of Love & Healing Vibes ? Years ago a feral cat in our neighborhood who visited occasionally for food showed up on my doorstep with a fractured pelvis. While his injury wasn't as bad as Skip's, I couldn't afford surgery and pins. The vet suggested I keep him caged for 2 months and let it heal itself. It worked and within a few months he jumped and ran like he never had an injury and did so for over a decade. I will pray for Skip. ?Thursday at 12:39amoBrian Howle And yet, somewhere out there, Justin Bieber is yet again going on stage?

Praying for ya!3 minutes ago · LikeI was right in the middle of sending an email to LaWanna about some promotions she was dreaming up for the ChatBigCats.com site when Honey Wayton, our gift shop manager called and relayed an urgent message.A woman had called to say they had found a bobcat alongside the highway and had it loose in their SUV and wanted to know what to do next because it was getting pretty mad.Obviously this was their first bobcat rescue, because no one makes that mistake twice.  I called the woman who said her name was Nici and she said that the bobcat laying alongside the road had caught her eye.  Her husband, Skip had chased him down with a blanket, scooped him up and put him in the back of the car.  He was dragging his back end, so the chase wasn’t much of a challenge, but picking up a VERY mad bobcat made him a fury of claws and teeth.Nici said they were two blocks from their home and that they could just leave him in the car for us to deal with, if we wanted.  As I frantically brought up a map to see that she was 2 and a half hours away, I didn’t think that was a great idea.  I asked if she had a pet carrier that they could just plop the blanketed cat into before he fully regained his senses.She didn’t but her friend Lorie did.  Turns out that all three of them had visited Big Cat Rescue in the past and were eager to do anything they could to help save this skinny, crushed little bobcat.  My instructions had been to completely envelope the cat in thick blanketing and take the top off the carrier, if necessary, to accommodate the entire bundle, and then bolt the top back on.  I don’t know why that didn’t work for them, but I called Nici back a few minutes later, after starting Jamie on her way to Mt. Plymouth, and Nici said, “I hope you guys will name this bobcat Skip, after my husband because he is so brave!”Slashing teeth and claws be danged, Skip had managed to get a grip on the bobcat’s scruff and lifted him into the carrier.  Even though Lorie had brought over a German Shepherd sized crate the bobcat managed to go spread eagle over the entire door making it a real effort to push him into the pile of blankets in the carrier.  Kind of like baptizing a cat in a cereal bowl.They covered him up and waited with him while I called every vet I could find between there and Tampa.  My concern was that the cat would go into shock before we could get him to a vet here, so I just needed someone to do a preliminary check and stabilize him.  By the time I had called a dozen vets and a couple of rehabbers two hours had passed and Jamie was nearly there.Our old van is a 1998 and has seen better days.  It was shuddering so badly that Jamie Veronica had taken it into a station to check the tires but they were OK and the shudder happened even when sitting still.  I’m no mechanic, but sounded like a rod knocking to me and I was sweating whether or not the van would even make it to the Mt. Dora area, NW of Orlando.Once I gave up on finding a vet near the bobcat, or even on the way home, who would give him the courtesy of even the most basic care, which I assured them I would pay in advance if necessary, I began to try and sort out what to do when he arrived in Tampa.If Jamie didn’t break down, she and the bobcat should be back in town around 6 pm.  Our primary vet, Dr. Wynn had a previous engagement hosting a dozen people at 6pm.  I asked if I should contact Florida Veterinary Specialist or our secondary vet, Dr. Dave Murphy.  Dr. Wynn said she would call her clinic and see if Dr. Dave Danielson might be willing to look at the bobcat.  He had worked with native bobcats before that we brought in, and was willing to help.Another frantic call from Honey and Howard and I were on our way to the sanctuary to give tours.  We have a Free Teachers promotion going on and instead of having 2 or 3 groups of twenty showing up at 3pm we had 9 such tour groups yesterday and it turns out 12 groups today including a wedding.  It was the biggest single day the sanctuary has ever had.  It was probably good timing because otherwise I might have made Jamie crazy by calling every five minutes and asking, “Where are you now?”During one such call Jamie said she would need me to bring the squeeze cage to the vet’s office.  How we were going to get the bobcat out of the carrier and into the squeeze cage was yet to be determined, but getting it there was the first step.  As soon as my tour ended I trotted across the parking lot to the on site West – Boensch Cat Hospital.  I chatted with Jack, who was recovering in the hospital from a nasty accident he had with the front gate, while I loaded the squeeze cage into my truck.  Jack is doing fine and is living proof that cats do have nine lives.I ordered pizzas for pick up because I knew Jamie hadn’t eaten since this morning and didn’t know if the vet and his staff would be skipping dinner to fit this bobcat, now named Skip, into their already hectic evening schedule.   Jamie already had Skip inside and he was well on his way to a long, deep sleep by the time I arrived.  She said they had tipped the crate up on end and hand injected him through the grated door.  Within only a couple of minutes he was sleeping…or so we thought.On the x-ray table he began blinking and trying to sit up, so he got a little more ketamine and went back to sleep.  The first x-ray showed the crushed pelvis and Dr. Danielson asked if we wanted to go any further as this was going to be a lot of major surgery with limited hope of recovery.  I told him we had spent more than $7500 on the last bobcat who needed plates, so we were willing to spend the money as long as the cat didn’t have any cat-killer diseases that would make him unfit for release.  The blood tests were done and he had a clean bill of health so the only other obstacle, which was determined later during a sonogram was that he has internal bleeding and his spleen may be beyond recovery.  Only a couple days of quiet rest and careful observation will let us know if he is going to live long enough to have the work done.The vet tech Heather pulled ticks off Skip while Jamie checked his ears for mites, his fur for fleas and Dr. Danielson powdered his raw, purple rump, bruised badly from the impact.  Judging by his pearly white fangs we guessed his age to be around two years old and while finely muscled, he only weighed a mere 17 lbs.After consulting Dr. Wynn by phone, Dr. Danielson decided to take a lot more x-rays and did all of the other work, such as flea treatment and tests, so that in a couple of days, if the spleen is still operational, Skip could go to FVS for the precision plating and pinning necessary to give him full mobility.We waited to make sure he would wake up OK from the anesthesia, which he did rather quickly, and then covered him up to rest quietly in the dark over night.  Being a wild cat, close proximity to humans is very agitating.  His whole life has been based upon the knowledge that man is to be avoided at all costs.If Skip makes it through the night we may set up cameras to monitor him tomorrow so that he isn’t being exposed to constant stress.We have been posting his progress at https://www.facebook.com/bigcatrescue along with photos and we will be posting video soon.You can check on him there and post your wishes for a speedy recovery.I am very thankful for all the love that has been focused his way and if love can mend a broken bobcat, then Skip will surely be ready to run free again soon.Carole Baskin, CEO of Big Cat RescueIf you would like to help Skip and other bobcats like him get a second chance at freedom, please donate at the top right of this page or here:  https://bigcatrescue.org/donate.htm

Pale or white gums indicate the cat is almost certainly in shock and may have seri...ous internal injuries and/or bleeding. If the gums are pink the cat is probably not in shock.Step 2: Place the cat on its side on a blanket, towel, or jacket with its head extended.Step 3: Clear the cat's airway.Step 3a: Place one hand over the cat's head so that your thumb and index finger fall just behind the long canines (fang teeth), the head resting against your palm.Step 3b: Gently tilt the cat's head back so its nose is pointing upward. Push your thumb toward your finger; the mouth will open.Step 3c: Gently pull out the cat's tongue to keep the airway open. If the cat resists your attempt to pull the tongue out, do not repeat Step 3.Step 4: Elevate the cat's hindquarters slightly by placing them on a pillow or folded towel.Step 5: Stop the bleeding immediately.Step 6: To conserve body heat, wrap the cat in a blanket or jacket.Step 7: Transport the cat to the veterinarian immediately.See MoreDecember 28, 2010 at 2:09pmoJennifer HarmonHere's the thing- most likely the vets won't treat the animal "until someone gets there" because they don't want to be stuck with an abandoned bobcat or (even worse in their eyes) the bill if no one shows up or follows through. It's total c...rap. They're not afraid of the cat, theres ways of dealing with even the most fractious animals- and if its shocky enough to have been able to be crated, there is no issue!!! they're afraid of losing $. I've been working in the veterinary business (and I totally mean it when I use that word "business") for many years, and am getting out of it to do law enforcement (animal control) cuz I just can't take the corruption and profiteering that goes on anymore. Some situations require special action. Regardless the outcome, you think it would be good PR for a vet to do this!!! Ugh, I get so disgusted talking about this. Best luck, kitty, and Godspeed.See MoreDecember 28, 2010 at 2:11pmoTed Heine It makes me so angry that "vets" are not bound by the same ethical and moral considerations as human doctors.

I was trying to save two one week old kittens. They got to where they wouldn't eat and were crying all the time. I called a local vet but they wouldn't see the kittens because they were clos...ing early. I then called a vet 30 miles away and they told me to bring the kittens right in. One died before I got there but the vet did check out the other though didn't give me much hope. The point is that this vet at least took the time to try to help. Needless to say, this is the vet I take all my animals to now even though it's further for me to travel.See MoreWednesday at 12:02amoBobbie Tharp Carter I hope you found someone.

And grateful thanks for all the wonderful people involved in his rescue. ? ? ?Wednesday at 1:28amoJennifer Godfrey Might be good to change the wording so people don't misread Skip as a verb - pass (skip) the bobcat, skip over the bobcat...

We also had a plate & screws inserted to repair the damage done. It's week 5 and my dog is playing with his kitty play...mates and uses his leg now and acts totally normal. He only picks it up when he runs away from me to play, which he is quickly told to calm down so he doesn't over-do it. So, if Skips internal organs are not too badly traumatized I have high hopes for his recovery! Thanks again to BCR, the rescuers & the vet & staff for the love & care Skip is receiving now! ? ? ?

We are consulting other bone specialists before we give up. He got fluids and is eating well but not urinating or defecating so we are worried that he can't; which means even cage rest can't help.

However I am still mindful of the fact that a wild cat after being so wounded whether the pain is m...asked or not is probably far from comfortable, think of the fear and terror you would experience being poked and prodded by giant naked apes who can'y speak your language. My grandest hope for Skip is that he will have peace in some form or another, because I am quite sure he does not know anything of love in his current condition. Bravo for BCR doing their best and fighting for the little guy's life, but it is silly to try and tell ourselves that he knows they are there to help.See MoreWednesday at 8:55pmoRondi Kay Abbott Never give up!!!

If Little Skip makes it he has a hard life in front of him. At least... he will be able to do it at BCR where he will be cared for really well. But a cat is not a human. It remains to be seen if he will have the quality of life a wild cat should have. There are so many unknown factors. It is so difficult to know what is best.
