Meet the rescue…

Calm and sweet Murphy was rescued by a compassionate resident, Kremena Ivanova, who noticed a large wound on his neck.

She immediately took him to the incredible team at Petzone Veterinary Clinic in Dubai, who deduced that the injury to the neck was most likely caused due to a fight with another cat. The wound was infected and was in need of urgent care.

Much-needed TLC

Dr Natascia Riccieri at Petzone Veterinary Clinic immediately took charge of Murphy’s wound care. Stitches were put in place to help close the gap, and Murphy was given pain medication and antibiotics. Once stable, he was neutered and vaccinated.
