https://ellgab.com/index.php?topic=1149.0The Lava Wildfire was near here recently, nearly a month after it was mostly contained a bobcat wandered into the area. Here is his story:
We have an update on our burned bobcat, an adult male that came from the Lava Fire (not the Dixie Fire, as previously stated) near Weed, CA. We are so thankful that Shasta Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation transferred the cat into the care of the Wildlife Disaster Network under the direction of Jamie Peyton, DVM, here at our Wildlife Intake Center. Once we sedated him and gave him a thorough examination, he was found to be more critically injured than first thought. He suffers from infected second, third and fourth degree burns to his feet and legs. He also has an abscess in his groin, possibly from a puncture wound while escaping the flames. Additionally, his body condition is very poor. He is emaciated, weighing only about 50% of his normal 30-35# weight and blood work shows he is anemic. Despite his grave condition we are optimistic about his prognosis, but it will take lots of care and support to get him back to normal so he can return to his life in the wild. A big thank you to Animal Medical Center - Auburn, CA for always working with us to process blood work quickly, even when we bring the samples to them as they are closing. When we all work together, we can truly help these animals that have suffered so much.
