Her self-mutilating behaviors were pre-existing before she came into the shelter and have continued through her initial tail amputation that occurred while still with her previous owner, as well as the revision while in shelter care. Her behavior concern points to a likely neurological pathology that will require a neurological workup, consultation with a behavior certified vet, as well as a multimodal approach (anxiolytic/psychotropic & pain meds, behavior mod., and environmental alteration) to manage her likely compulsive self-mutilation. Should no pathologies be identified, further behavioral workups should also be sought out. She will require an experienced adopter/rescue group capable of managing daily care and diagnostics to ensure that Sabby's condition and self-mutilation be controlled to manage further trauma. This evaluation/diagnosis means that SABBY will be given very little time for rescue/foster/adoption.🔥🔥🔥🔥 Sabby is a sweet cat that allows all petting and handling - but she appears to have a medical/compulsive self-directed behavior that is persistent and not manageable in a shelter setting. Her behaviors were pre-existing before she came into the shelter and have continued through her initial surgery to help resolve the behaviors. ❤️ 😻❤️ 😻❤️ 😻 NEEDS OUT OF SHELTER ASAP – Please RT or pledge, if you can, to save this little one. @AdamsPaulGrimke 💔😿🙏Thank you
