💚 Have Good Vet, Will Travel - Seven Hours on the Road and Worth Every Minute 💚
In the past two days I’ve done seven hours of driving. But honestly, when you look at those faces, how could I not?
🚗 First up, Smiggle.
Smiggle is one of our permanent medicals due to her ongoing dental issues. Yesterday she required another dental, and I’m happy to say she’s doing much better now. A huge thank-you to Helene for sponsoring this brave little girl - your ongoing support truly makes a difference. 💚
🐹 Next up, Ginger.
Ginger is another of our permanent medicals. She’s had surgery in the past for bladder stones - has a hormonal implant to manage ovarian cysts and as she doesn’t handle surgery well. Today she needed what I believe was her third dental surgery. Sadly, with dentals, it’s not a choice; it’s either surgery or they pass away. Thank you so much to the Dewhurst family for sponsoring Ginger! 🧡
💚 Then came Charlie and Billy.
Charlie is in foster care with Carly and lives happily with her piggy, Billy. Charlie was originally surrendered because he needed a dental, and today it was Billy’s turn - so they both caught a ride down together, thankfully Charlie checked out okay.
🐾 And finally, little Marshall.
Marshall’s owners brought him in before heading off on holidays, concerned about a lump near his ni**le. I suspected a mammary tumour, and Liam confirmed this and has contacted his family with suggestion for his future
This isn’t the last of the surgeries to come - I’ll be chatting with Dr Liam shortly about organising the next round for some of our other piggies in need.
I also want to apologise for not getting back to everyone or updating the adoptables - it’s been a long couple of days.
Tomorrow we’ll be closed to play catch up behind the scenes - replying to messages, cleaning, restocking, and making sure everyone (including me!) gets back on top of things.
Thank you all so much for your patience, kindness, and continued support! 🙏
