DAISY: RESCUED IN BAY RIDGE BROOKLYN

DEAR JUDE: My husband Hektor I took our pooch, Scooby, for a walk. It was steaming hot outside. Hektor noticed a small little nestling bird trying to go under a garbage can on the corner of 94^th street and Third Avenue. She was crawling under the garbage, trying to shield herself from the blazing sun; she was too small to survive on her own. There was no nest around that area. We were not going to leave her on the street to die from the sun, cats or a careless human stepping on her. We picked her up, taking her to our apartment. Hektor made a little home for her from a shoebox filling it with soft paper towels, cotton balls. I found Rainbow Wildlife on the Internet, received excellent step by step instructions on how to care for orphaned bird. She needs a lot of protein, which is found in a raw meat, boiled eggs, soft cooked chicken, dog or cat food. She ate Scooby’s canned dog food. Little birds are fed by their mother who puts her bleak down on their throat. We fed her with my tweezers; it is like a bird’s beak. Feeding our little Daisy, she has a fighting chance to survive. We are planning to raise her without taming her. Once she can feed herself and fly with confidence we are taking her down to the park where we will let her free. Alexandra Halidisz

WHAT'S GOING ON...

DEAR JUDE: PLEASE HELP EMERGENCY!

Three orphaned kittens struggle for their lives… During the Holiday Season people are busy shopping around and don't see little things happening right in their own backyard. A Family of three newborn kittens was born to a scared, timid Mother only a baby herself. She abandoned her babies as she could no longer feed or care of them. Now meowing faces looked for comfort and food. But she had no milk and her youngin’s had badly infected eyes. The four week old kitten family desperately clung to each other. Rescue AKA Queie, a black male, Hope a very tiny Torti; the sickest kitten, and Lovey an orange Tabby all have a severe upper respiratory infections. Sticky mucus covered and dried their eyes and nostrils. They could not open their eyes or breathe. Queie has a bigger problem – the right eye is so badly infected it popped out of the socket.

Tatiana at the Animal Clinic of Bay Ridge, said to bring them in. Dr. Alexandru immediately saw them.
I gave Amoxicillin drops twice a day and Erythromycin eye ointment two times daily and Nutri-Cal supplement three times a day, and bathed their crusted eyes with Chamomile compresses. The babies are responding to hand feedings. The doctor said that was perfect and they were doing well. Queie’s traumatic operation will be done as soon as he is strong enough and older. Dr. Alexandru will perform the difficult surgery. Mom will be trapped, spayed, ear tipped, released so she can remain healthy and not reproduce. MUFFIN'S will help subsidize the fees. Donations are appreciated.

Prognosis looks good for the three Winter Miracles. This Holiday will have three strong, adoptable sweethearts representing the Heart of the Season: Family, Health and Goodwill. Thank you, God Bless.” -Teresa Romano

Born Free rescued Sinbad, and today he lives a full life in a big cat rescue centre, Shamwari Wildlife Reserve, in South Africa. He will never gain the weight to be a strapping 500-600 pound lion. He eats well, has vitamins daily. He's a gentle, sweet King of his world, with missing teeth. He roars in the afternoons, lays around and watches two lioness, Ma Juah and Achee who have skeletal problems. They are no threat to our Sinbad. The Lioness also need to be adopted.
