The poor animal clearly did not look so good – its swollen up red nose understandably stunned the vet when the owners brought their kitten in for examination.
The medical team promptly examined the kitten, and soon delivered shocking news to the family: a cuterebra, a kind of parasite, had climbed into the kitten’s nose!
The poor little kitten could barely keep her head up. Her nose was hugely swollen when the family came in. Luckily, the parasite was removed and she received excellent care.
The vet later wrote on Twitter that the kitten is doing well and was expected to promptly recover.
This warmed my heart. Imagine how hard it must have been for her to go through this!
Watch the video below to see the cuterebra be removed – but be forewarned that the video contains strong images!
This is crazy, but I’m so glad that got pulled out and gave the kitten relief! Please share this with your friends to remind them that it’s important to always seek care for their pets if they suspect something is wrong.
