29 September 05 Brutalized Kitten

Sylvia arrives at the clinic and is found to have multiple fractures on her left forearm and right hind leg. Her elbow was basically shattered into pieces. Everyone at the clinic was shocked to learn that her injuries were the outcome of a madman’s violence.

After having her stab wound treated, Sylvia was placed in one of the cages, where she lied in silence. I walked up to her slowly and gently called out her name. She opened her tired eyes and let out a weak squeak. When I rubbed her cute little nose she started purring like crazy. Everyone was amazed that after she has been brutalized and nearly crushed by a madman, she still finds comfort in human company.

Sylvia fell asleep in the cage while the vet and I discussed the details of the operation to be held the next day. There was no knowing if she will regain full mobility of her forearm, and all we could do was pray for a successful surgery.


05年9月29日 慘被暴虐的小花

小花 Sylvia 被帶到動物診所接受診治，發現她的左前肢及右後肢都有多處骨折，肩骨更被折得幾乎粉碎。診所裡每一個人都十分震驚，實難明世上竟有如此殘酷的施暴者。

醫生為小花治理過腹部的刀傷後便將小花放進籠中。小花只是安靜的躺著。我慢慢地走向小花，輕輕地叫喚她的名字。她睜開疲倦的雙眼，還發出微弱的叫聲。當我伸手撫摸她可愛的小鼻子時，她更不停地打著呼嚕。大家都料想不到，這個差點命送暴徒魔掌的小東西，竟然對人類還存在信任，仍會在人類的陪伴中找到安慰。

當醫生和我商討有關明天的手術時，小花已在籠中沉沉的睡著了。醫生告訴我，小花的前肢能否於手術後完全恢復正常活動能力仍是未知之數。現在我們可以做的，就只有為小花祈禱，希望明天的手術成功。
