Clive is very cute and playful, and he loves everyone...cats, dogs, and humans! By all appearances he is a normal kitten but when Clive was weaned he couldn't keep his food down and he was much smaller than his brothers. Initially it was thought that Clive had Persistent Right Aortic Arch but during surgery it was discovered that he had Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery (see tabs below for more info). Clive had his surgery on February the 8th...
Clive had his surgery on February 8, 2011. He recovered very quickly and has taken over the house! You can read his progress reports below, and you can also look for Clive's Story on Facebook where you will find more recent updates and photos of Clive!

Update
Clive is still doing really well. The doc had warned that the surgery might not be an instant fix but it's looking pretty good so far. He has a really good appetite and still hasn't thrown up once since I got him home. He is resting more than before but really is pretty active considering what he has been through. He is even playing a little now.....His incision looks good and he hasn't been licking or scratching it so he isn't having to wear his e-collar which I am sure he is happy about.

Clive- as Neala's Mom- I am so happy for you and your family. The diagnosis of PRAA is so scary, with such little research/information out there about kittens, and most of it based around large breed dogs- it's rough choosing to do the surgery or to let go... I am glad your family fought for you and the Carolina Veterinary Specialists did such a phenomenal job taking care of you- before/during/and post surgery.
