Trooper's fund recipient

Blue Bell

Sometimes, animals that are recipients of Trooper’s Fund get medical attention that deals with issues that are not seen physically.

Blue Bell came in as a tiny kitten in March of 2016 from an over-capacity shelter in Quebec. As soon as she was big enough to be spayed, she was adopted out in June 2016. A short time later her family noticed she was not using the litter box. In September 2016, Blue Bell was returned to Upper Credit.

A urinalysis showed that Blue Bell had both a bladder infection and urinary crystals. One condition could be solved by antibiotics and the other by switching her food. We immediately switched her food and got her on antibiotics. Blue Bell had been in so much pain, she had been urinating blood, but the medication helped and after three more urine tests, she was free and clear of both infection and crystals!

Blue Bell was adopted again in November 2016 and placed on urinary food in her new home. She has not had any issues using the litter box since and recently got a brand new member of the family added from UCHS! Blue Bell’s medical bills were funded by Trooper’s Fund.
