Persian cat brutally injured at Hairdresser salon

Maya screams could be heard from across the street. It was a heartbreaking plea for help, a feline request for assistance.

Maya was in extreme pain, with every effort to get some air her intestines would get entangled in her lungs. She was vomiting blood.

Maya was about to die.

How did this beautiful loved and pampered animal found herself at death’s door?

On Sunday the 27 of November, her owners took her to the Suadiye Veterinary Clinic in Istanbul , where she was due to have her haircut.

A couple of hours later, when her owners pick her up, she was partly unconscious. The explanation she was given is that she was administered anesthetics to calm her down.

Upon arrival home it was clear Maya was not well, she reacted with pain to the touch, could barely move, wouldn’t drink or eat. When the owners called the clinic vet. Emel Kökçü told them this was normal behavior for a cat after being given anesthetics.

But something was clearly wrong. From that moment on all calls to Vet. Emel Kökçü went unanswered.

An X-Ray, that showed that Maya’s diaphragm had gone through severe trauma and had been broken. It was clear to me that the injury had taken place during the botched haircut appointment. Judging by the severity of the injury I believe the hairdresser must have applied all his weight and his elbow over Maya’s stomach. Maya had a 4 cms tear in the diaphragm and that her intestines, liver and kidneys were all tangled up and pushing against her lungs.

Vet. Emel Kökçü was called by Maya’s owners that explained her the severity of the situation and she accepted to cover the costs of operating Maya.

Sadly, her offer to assist wouldn’t last for long. The following morning Emel Kökçü spoke to Maya’s owners to tell them that she wouldn’t be honoring her promise to help, that Maya was a very unruly cat, and this accident happened for a reason (!).

Maya continues fighting for her life. Her internal organs are severely damaged and she may not make it.

From this blog we would ask you to please SHARE this post across all social media networks, and, until we have a clear explanation from Vet. Emel Kökçü to stay away from Suadiye Veterinary Clinic.
