Baby Wilkie, just 230g, was dying of starvation. Hypothermia is a stage of dying where the blood is redirected to the vital organs, to keep them going as long as possible, leaving the rest of the body feeling cold. Tarmac holds the sun's heat longer than soil or grass so baby Wilkie, desperate for a little warmth, dragged himself onto the only tarmac he could find. The main A30 road. His finder saw cars driving over him, and so thought he was dead and carried on. But the tragic sight nagged at him, so at the next village he turned around and went back, stopped, scooped baby Wilkie up, and was surprised to find him still alive and undamaged by all the cars travelling over him. He was in an extremely poor condition when he arrived here, but two hours after being given emergency treatment and fluids, little Wilkie was up. I always find this first meal so touching, imagining what they must feel to have as much good food as they want, after starving for so long. As you can see, eating takes priority, even over fear of human presence (and some mad woman snatching up a poo hot off the press).😁 The poo sample I took from him here in this clip, and looked at under the microscope, shows this poor little boy is also full of lungworm. PLEASE put out some dry kitten biscuits and water for these poor starving babies, who are around now. Wilkie is emaciated and in a very serious condition. But he's in the right place now, safe and warm and receiving all the right treatment.
