Update: Unfortunately poor Guinea who was renamed Hercules by his foster didn’t make it and has crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈😢🥺
He was taken in by a caring foster family last Friday, to provide him with pre-surgery treatment and post-operative care. His appointment was scheduled for the following Tuesday, and we had hoped he would make it until then. Unfortunately, by that time, he had begun to slow down and show signs of weakness. Despite the foster family’s dedicated efforts, his condition rapidly deteriorated over the weekend. He was suffering, so we contacted a mobile vet service. They arrived quickly and, after assessing his condition, determined that he would not survive. With compassion, they assisted him in passing peacefully, ending his suffering.
We are so thankful to Swiftail Exotic Vet Services for their quick service as going to the emergency at that time was not possible.
We are also so thankful to Hercules foster who did everything she could to care for him and help him.
As well as the staff Osman who had cared for him at the rescue and brought him to his vet appointments and RVT tech Alex who also helped with care and treatment and was the one who discovered he had this abscess growing inside his mouth which was hard to tell at first since it was inside not on the outside.
R.I.P Hercules 😔 run free 🌈
