After a thorough examination, blood samples were taken and tested confirming that \u2018Bean\u2019 had indeed been in close contact with the Lily\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Bean&#8217; was then transferred to Pet Doctors and put on IV fluids for 48 hours, and although she has returned home, as she was getting stressed being away from home, she is still having blood tests to monitor her progress. She has a 70% chance of a full recovery, so we are all praying she does make a full recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/felinewelfareiow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Bean-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/felinewelfareiow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Bean-1.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/felinewelfareiow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Bean-1-278x300.jpeg 278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Bean at Pet Doctors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We started a Fund Raiser on Facebook and people were amazing.
