When she got to the clinic, her temperature was below 32°C, said, Dr. Jevon Clark. A normal temperature for a cat is around 38°-39°C.
Fluffy making a full recovery
Her vets didn’t have much hope at first. But with the help of warm towels and hair dryers, Fluffy started making a miraculous recovery and within 45 minutes was acting normal.
Fluffy’s vet dr. Javon Clark tells that in his 24 years of practice he’s never seen a case like this.
“I was really surprised, you know I’ve practiced a long time and I’ve seen a lot of hypothermic animals. But normally it’s like an accidental kind of a thing where the kids leave the door open and the cat gets out or the dog gets out nobody knows about it for a couple hours and they might get a little cold versus this was a little bit kind of a different situation to have it actually packed around” Dr. Javon Clark said.
The best news was that the animal medical center reported that the beloved cat is already he was stable and with his family. The very lucky Fluffy is now back home.
Dr. Clark says to avoid this happening to one of your pets, make sure you have fresh water and a bed for your pet outside in case they get stuck. That way they’re not on the cold hard ground and can stay hydrated in a pinch.
