“Saved by veterinarians SuperGatito

This kitten was born with deformed rib cage, which directly affected the position of his heart and triggered a series of breathing problems. In this situation, veterinarians put a splint on his chest and blindfolded him, it was then realized that the dressing resembled a superhero costume, hence the name Supergatito.

Supergatito more like Iron Cat

Totes - we learned about that procedure in my surgery elective! Little kitten’s chest was inverted and floppy, the implant gave it stability and form until his cartilage could harden!

EDIT: I can’t figure out why it says they blindfolded him though…
