Update on stardust.

For those that don’t know stardust’s journey, she came into us with the large rescue we did back in September. Unfortunately one of her eyes needed to be removed due to long term damage and high risk for re occurring infections. Her eye was removed the operation went well however a few days after the glue burst open which ment she needed to have another surgery to flush and re- close it 2nd op went well but Unfortunately after that she got an infection in the wound which caused some of the scabs and stitches to fall out. Leaving her with another hole.. we then treated the infection and cleaned the wound 3 times per day while on antibiotics. When it was looking better we then re closed the eye with another surgery and it looked amazing two weeks post op but tragically I went in one morning and she had ripped out her stitches 💔😮‍💨 she has since had a staple in and been on antibiotics and cleaning the wound again. She’s booked in for surgery again on Tuesday. It sound allot for her and it is however she is absolutely full of life and always recovers extremely well after her surgery’s. We’re not willing to give up on her yet the vet feels confident there’s enough elasticity in the skin to do one more surgery. We need all the prayers in the world that she leaves it alone this time 😮‍💨😫 she’s booked in on Tuesday for the operation please keep her in your prayers 🙏🏻 🐹🐾

Update: we have spent £285.20 today at the vets 😮‍💨 however we are glad we took them in so we can now start the treatments they need.. but this is why it takes so long to get down our waiting lists 💔 so many poorly pigs 💔

We said good bye to 4 boarders today, they also took an extra guinea pig sister home with them Chloe (now named willow) 😂 who’s going to have the best life in her new home 🏡..

We also took in 6 surrender pigs 🐹 and are now at the vets with 4 Piggys wish us luck 🍀

Our funds are being eaten away and we’re struggling to keep money in the bank for the amount of vet fees coming out 💔 we understand the time of year and things are tight but even £1 helps us 🙏🏻

Good morning 🌅

We had a lot of questions about what was wrong with Alice so we thought we would do a post to explain in a little more detail.

We were contacted by Alice’s previous owner to ask for advice on what to do with Alice as she at the time thought she had been bitten by the ladies other guinea pig. We only had one piece of advice… she needed urgent vet treatment. The previous owner had her living in a washing basket and was trying all sorts of remedies to help as she couldn’t afford the vet care, we begged her to surrender her so we could get her the help she needed.

Once she arrived we got immediate vet care. The issue wasn’t a bite as the previous owner had assumed, it was mites and a fungal infection. As Alice had been left untreated for an extremely long period of time her condition had got very serious.

The treatment was absolutely horrendous.. touching Alice was in its self extremely uncomfortable for her. And to have to bath her every 3 days and change her little sock jumpers daily was heart breaking 💔 but we knew we couldn’t give up on her she had so much life in her and such a HUGE appetite. I remember times when I was bathing her and crying myself at the same hoping and praying that sometime soon she would start to feel better it took us months of treatment to get her better.
On the hard days of rescue when we wonder if we can carry on doing what we do we think of Alice and we know we have to keep going ❤️
