The 4-month-old cub was retrieved by California Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists and brought to the Oakland Zoo's veterinary hospital on Sunday night.
According to the zoo, she arrived "in bad shape".
She weighed only 8 pounds — a healthy female at that age should weigh approximately 30 pounds. She was severely dehydrated, starving, covered in fleas and ticks, and had a very low red blood cell count.

Since arriving at the zoo, the cub has been receiving round-the-clock care, including bottle feeding several times a day, intravenous fluids and daily blood tests.
On Wednesday, she received a blood transfusion from a resident mountain lion and "is recovering well".
Although she is still underweight and fragile, veterinarians are optimistic about Rose's recovery.
