Not the post I wanted to have to share, but I know many of you loved Molly as much as we did. Thank to everyone that asked after her. We are heartbroken today but know that she is at peace.

A sad update, I’m afraid. Molly was put to sleep this morning following a worsening in her condition. We are heart broken to have lost such a sweet little bird, but she is now at peace.

If you do want to know more about Molly’s condition please read on below, it’s not for everyone so it’s a little further down the page.

Thank you again to both Sam & Stanko at Robson & Prescott for their compassion and expertise.

Molly had a visible prolapse (tissue protruding through her vent) when she came to us. She had a minor op and a hormone implant and her condition stayed much the same.

Last week she bled at some point overnight and there were splashes of fresh blood on her papers. The prolapse was larger and after consulting with our vets another surgery was performed.

Subsequent surgeries aimed to stitch remaining tissue but each time the prolapse recurred after defecation. Until last night she was in good spirits. This morning she was in obvious pain despite the pain relief medications she was on. Upon examination it was decided that it was time to let her go peacefully.

During her first surgery last week a large mass of 9x7x4mm was removed from just inside her vent and the histology report confirmed it was a papilloma (benign tumor). Papillomas tend to recur and are mutliple in number, affecting all areas of the intestinal tract. It is very likely that Molly already had other papillomas and her prognosis was not good. Had she not had surgery she would have been unlikely to survive more than 6 months, and was at risk of sudden haemorrhage.

It is never easy to decide when or if to operate, and even harder to make the final decision when the end has come. All our decisions are made with their best interests at heart. We will miss Molly greatly as we know many of you will too.

Many of you know the lovely Molly - please send healing thoughts her way as she’s back in surgery this afternoon.

** 7.45pm Update, she’s on her way home with us, we just need her to get through the next 24-48 hours ** Molly is undergoing a third surgery this afternoon at Robson & Prescott Vets. Please send healing thoughts her way. We’re obviously all very concerned but she’s in the best hands with Sam & Sztanko, and we’re keeping everything crossed for a good outcome. We are very grateful for your donations that enable us to give Molly every chance.
