Vet arrives
The vet arrived less than twenty minutes after Darren’s call. He was a short, older man with thick glasses and a calm way of moving, even under stress. He examined the tiny creature carefully, turning it gently in his hands, checking breathing, limbs, and reflexes. “It’s alive and healthy,” he concluded softly, “but clearly underdeveloped. We’ll need warmth, safety, and time. That’s the only way this little one has a real chance.”
