Why we always support this local charity

A stray who we were made aware of a few months ago in poor condition. A humane cat trap was sorted out, but he became elusive, until last night, when someone managed to catch him in a basket and kindly transported him to our vets, where he stayed in for the day.

An unneutered male with no microchip. Underweight, ulcer on his eye, low heart rate on arrival, dehydrated, hideous teeth, most of his canine teeth are broken off at gum level, and the back ones are in a very poor state, one of which is infected.

He was given sub cut fluids and started on a course of antibiotics. A blood test was going to be carried out, but it was decided that he would need to be sedated, so instead it will be done before his dental next week to save him having to be knocked out twice. It also gives him time to put some weight on and for the antibiotics to kick in to fight the infection. He was fine to handle, but became more feisty after having some food, which he scoffed down. Often they can seem quite calm when they aren't well, so we will keep him quiet for now to rest.

We've named him Colin

!UPDATE - Colin went to the vets today for his dental and neutering. A blood test was carried out and nothing too abnormal came up, so they went ahead with the procedures. Unfortunately his teeth were even worse than they first thought. All 4 of his canine teeth were fractured and he has trauma to his tongue, the vet thinks he's had some type of injury, possibly something caught in and around his mouth. Both his upper canines have been removed and all his teeth on the left side. One canine was fractured into the base of his mouth. Because he was under anaesthetic for 3 hours, they have left the rest and will need to do a second dental next week. The bottom canines have cracked off and left holes, but the roots remain, but will hopefully be removed next week as they ran out of time. Poor soul must've been in so much pain, he hasn't been eating very well in the last few days and couldn't pick the food up. He'll stay on antibiotics and pain relief.

DON’T GET A DOG…UNLESS YOU CAN MAKE A COMMITMENT

In an ideal world dogs would be included as a family member and we would commit to sharing our time and life with them in the relatively short time they have on earth.

In an ideal world, we would take the time to learn about how dogs communicate through their body language, their emotions, their needs and keep learning about updated, modern, force free / pain free methods to understand or modify behaviour.

In reality, dogs are so often seen as an item of property, an object, a commodity to be bred and make money from, a cheap, replaceable security system, a garden decoration, a toy to play with when the kids are bored or an accessory that looks good while out walking, running or taking selfies.

Dogs are not objects, just like us they are sentient beings with the capacity to feel a range of emotions.

Dogs are naturally social beings and need to spend time with their human family.

A life spent confined to a backyard or fenced in with little or no human companionship is not a life.

They need love and attention, exercise and mental stimulation. They need routine, consistency and predictable patterns to feel safe and secure in our world.

Having a dog requires commitment, understanding, patience and dedication.

It’s hard work, it’s sometimes messy, dirty and stinky, it costs money and requires changes to our lifestyle.

It’s a decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly or without making a long term commitment, but the rewards of forming a secure bond with another sentient being can bring so much joy and enrichment to both our lives and theirs.
