As time flew by, the bobcat slowly began to regain its strength thanks to the careful treatment by SDHS veterinarians. For weeks, the cat’s jaw was stabilized with wiring and sutures as she recovered.
Eventually, the feline went from eating a soft diet, to chopped foods and eventually to solid foods and ultimately her natural prey diet – a sign of victory for the medical staff who helped treat the pregnant cat.
“This case was extra special, since we learned during her initial ultrasound that she was expecting kittens,” Christine Barton, director of operations and wildlife rehabilitation at San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Wildlife Center, said in a statement. “We’ve been like a protective extended family, preserving not one, but three lives! We are happy that she and her unborn kittens can resume their role as apex predators here in San Diego County.”
