This little one is stealing our hearts 🤍.

Unfortunately his mommas milk is drying up it seems. She’s producing less and less and we barely got a drop out of her today when we checked 😓.

He’s getting fed daily and does so well. 🥹

We treated everyone for ringworm today and did a lovely big clean. 🥲

We have weighed the other 12 girls (from the other large rescue we did) and it does seem that these two girlies are definitely showing signs of pregnancy unfortunately. 🙈

A few of These girls are still showing ringworm however most of them have cleared up well which is just amazing to see 🥹.

You are breeding them faster than we can save them…

Stop breeding.
Stop breeding.
Stop breeding.

Thanks for coming to our Ted talk.

Today we did a long road trip up to Rabbit Rescue North West to collect the remaining piggies after a big welfare rescue.
We are extremely appreciative of their efforts and hard work in collecting all these piggies from such awful and disgusting conditions. ❤️😣.
There were more however other amazing rescues have also taken multiples in 🙏🏼🤍🐽

The photo attached shows the poor conditions these poor things were living in. To our understanding it was much worse than this, with one Guinea pig also dead.

Every Guinea pig has ringworm and mites.
They were left to just breed and breed.
Many babies are very skinny too. 💔

Most of them are very very young.
The boys we took on are 8-10 weeks at most.
And most the girls are the same except one adult.

One of the baby girls also has a baby of her own 😣.
He’s estimated only about a week old. And weighs only 120grams.… there is nothing of him !

Unfortunately it being late on a Sunday meant no shops were open so we couldn’t grab any goats milk, that will be tomorrow job.
Mum is producing some but little milk and so we feel the need to step in a help him out also, after all he is dinky.
He’s had some warm porridge for now.

Unfortunately we have to keep all these girls on pregnancy watch due to circumstances..
all these piggies are just babies themselves and so we pray they didn’t catch.
Everyone was treated for mites at RRNW so we won’t do that until a weeks time however we will treat everyone for ringworm tomorrow.

As always we’d be incredibly greatful for any gifts or donations. No amount is too little. We are thankful for absolutely everything. 🤍🙏🏼.

Stan is enjoying his Saturday, chilling and looking rather handsome ! 😌.

Stanley is still available for adoption 🤍🐰.

28/07/2023

Iris and Levi had their vaccines done today! Finally 🫣🤍.

Bean was also taken in today to see the vets to check up after his surgery, they cleaned and flushed his wounds and he’s looking good so far. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I’ve spent all afternoon and evening doing a mass clean out on all the bunnies, and building/repairing 3 runs/enclosures with those aviary panels that arrived on Thursday 🤍.

I didn’t manage to get photos of the other Two, but I got pictures of this one to share !
I’m extremely exhausted and ready for bed 😂.

(More work and finishing touches were done after this photo was taken, such as slabs round the outside to close gaps, wire round the washing pole was fixed up and more etc.)
(There is also wire underneath the soil part round the pole so nothing can dig in and no bunnies can dig out.)

The run is 6ft by 6ft in itself, and the shed is 4ft by 4ft so this enclosure is being used to house aspen and Phoebe as they are highly distructive inside 🫣🫢💜💙.

Thankyou again Lisa Blair for the free delivery of these. We cannot thank you enough 🙏🏼🤍

27/07/2023

Little boys are home and well! Their neuters went really well and they have already eaten and drank here which is amazing 🤍🐰🐰.

Bean is doing incredibly well today !
He’s much brighter, munching on food and hay, and using the toilet too !! 🥹🐽🤍.

27/07/2023

Finley and Otis have gone into the vets to be castrated this morning! 🤞🏻🤞🏻💙💙

26/07/2023

He’s done it !
He’s made it through his surgery.
He’s been syringe fed at the vets and has gone to the toilet a few times which is good !
These 24-48 hours are critical and so we are watching him intently to make sure he is definitely still eating and drinking and pooping. Preferably on his own. however if not we will top him up with some critical care tonight.

He’s in a carrier to reduce movement, he’s on a hot water bottle and has lots of food infront of him to hopefully entice him to eat 🙏🏼🤞🏻.

Whilst it’s good news he’s made it through his surgery unfortunately there is still more too it.
Upon opening the abscesses there were two masses directly where he was stitched (his balls) when he was neutered.
The masses are completely covered in tissue and are fused to the side of the muscle. therefore they couldn’t remove it to biopsy it.
Our biggest worry would be he now has tumours as this would likely fatal.. we are praying this isn’t the case.
she said it would be unlikely they would be tumours exactly where he reacted to his stitches, however we just don’t know at the time.
If he doesn’t start to clear up and this keeps on coming back then tumours would probably the case 😣😖..

The reason this all began was because he reacted to his sutures/stitches when he was neutered, and since caused infection and he’s suffered ongoing abscesses that just keep coming back no matter how hard we try or how often we are cleaning it.

This time they used a completely different type of stitch and they are dissolving so they won’t need removing.
We are keeping our fingers crossed he doesn’t react to these ones…

He’s back on his 3 meds, loxicom for pain and inflammation, Enrocare (antibiotics) and Emerpid that aids gut mobility, and the wounds still need cleaning at least twice a day with the iodine.

He’s back in on Friday for a check and from there will likely be in the vets at least twice a week depending on how he does but regardless it would be regular.

We are absolutely exhausted and stressed.
It’s never ending consistently here.
Credit to my mum always !🤍
She makes it all possible.
Working constantly, stressed and exhausted, driving here, there and everywhere.

A lovely large vets bill today 😣.
any and all donations are appreciated 🙏🏼🤍. We are incredibly thankful.

This morning has been difficult.
We had vets for bean and the two bunnies, Nellie and Theo.

Both buns are in fairly good health.
They didn’t put them down for vaccinations today so unfortunately we have to book those for another day…
Nellie was assessed and the vet was extremely surprised she’s managed to eat well as she would have expected the teeth to be very uncomfortable.
They are unsure what the best decision is just yet as removing them could be very difficult due to the way her incisors are growing.
The roots are completely dis-formed and so makes the tooth turn out words. They likely would never grown the same again.

We sort of guessed this was the case and so we hope to opt to having them removed.
They didn’t feel comfortable doing this so they have taken photos and emailed a specialist for us so unfortunately we couldn’t book her in for surgery just yet but once we hear back we hopefully can get the best decision and book her in 🤞🏻
Due to the fact she is eating and acting normal, we haven’t booked her to have them burred just yet- however this may come soon, Depending on how soon the vet hears back from the specialist.

3 days ago we stopped beans ongoing meds, and didn’t squeeze him any more. He was looking so promising and had healed so nicely on the outside we just were waiting for the inside.
Today it’s almost back to where we started.
His left leg is clear but his right now had a huge abscess again..
today we took him in and spoke through our options. We opted to have emergency surgery to have all the abscesses surgically removed.

Bean has already been under anaesthetic once for his neuter, but we are extremely hopeful his little body will manage another.. it’s a huge risk.
we won’t get a call till about 4pm this evening as to wether his surgery was successful or not and so lots waiting and worrying. We’ve kissed him goodbye and hope that he can pull through this. 🤞🏻🤞🏻😣

Bean is the most amazing Guinea pig we have ever met.
He’s held on through all of this and I feel like he’s not complained once. He’s a truly incredible little piggy and we are so so proud of him. He doesn’t fight us when we are squeezing, poking or prodding him. He’s bloody amazing with his many medications and is a true little fighter!🤍🐽
all the things we and the Vets have done to him and all the pain of squeezing we may have caused, we are incredibly astonished at the fact he still loves us- maybe, puts up with us is a better way of putting it 😂🥺.

Lots of tears in and on the way back from the vet. My biggest worry is that he doesn’t make it and I feel as though we have failed him.
Though deep down I feel we have done all we can ❤️‍🩹.

and We love him with our whole heart ❤️.

Please keep bean in your thoughts today… 🙏🏼🧡

SORTED 😭🤍🤍🤍
Thankyou so incredibly much Lisa Blair ❤️
Your absolutely amazing 🙏🏼🫶🏻🥹

Hey everyone !
I hate to ask again for donations, and I’d like to say how enternaly grateful we are for all support financially and non-financially.
Every little adds up and makes such a huge diffence in the work that we do.
We are self-funded and do our best to pay expenses but will always need the support from the amazing community we have managed to create, made up of soo many kind and amazing people.
We are so incredibly thankful for each and every one of you 🙏🏼🤍.

One of our outdoor enclosures is falling apart and we feel it’s no longer safe nor secure for the bun.
It’s on the back where it’s rotting and today we noticed the run leaning a bit.
I’m frustrated we didn’t catch it sooner as it now means Iris has to go into a hutch temporarily until we can replace it which isn’t ideal.
We plan to make temporary fix so she won’t have to stay in it long. However this won’t last more than a week if that. ☹️

This is very quick and so we don’t have the funds immediately 😩.

We’ve found an extremely good condition aviary available that will cost us £70 which thankfully we do currently have.
Rather than 1 huge aviary, We can use these panels to make a few suitable runs therefore, we can also replace another run that is close to its way out.
Two birds one stone 🙈🥹.

They are however about 40-50 minutes away from us meaning it will cost roughly £75-£90 for a van to pick it up and delivery it for us ❤️‍🩹.
Cheapest I’ve got so far is £75 !!

We’ve got vets all this week and so every fund we currently have available has already been paid in advance for most of the vets.

We would be so extremely grateful if anyone can spare even £1-£2 to help get this to us 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤍.

Thankyou so extremely much.
I can’t tell you how thankful we are 💗.
I don’t expect anything at all, and please don’t send if you can’t. Times are hard for everyone.
Otherwise please do share and interact with our posts to reach a larger audience 🥹🙏🏼🤍

Stanley is STILL waiting for his forever home to come along. 🤞🏻🐰🤍

Stanley is about 10 months old and is neutered and vaccinated ready to be adopted.
He’s definitely in need of companionship 🥹💙.
Stan is a sweet and active boy who loves to explore! He’s full of personality and is a real character! He’s handsome but can be a little stubborn sometimes 🫣.

If you’d like to know more information on Stanley or would be interested in adopting him please get in touch ! 🐰.

This little man has my whole heart 🥺💙

Aspen is currently available for adoption with his momma Phoebe ! 🤍

With the rabbits best interests at heart, we took the decision a few weeks ago to go ahead and bond both aspen and Phoebe together.
Aspen has been with us his whole life and is nearly a year old, it was obvious to us that he was craving companionship.
Pheobe has been through a lot, she lost her first partner, didn’t bond well with the second, and it only felt right that we tried her with aspen.
To our surprise, they have bonded amazingly.

Both bunnies had a potential home lined up that has unfortunately fallen through ☹️.

Please consider adopting these two monkeys! 🤍🐰🐰.

As always, these two will require a secure and predator proofed enclosure of at least 3m by 2m.
Both aspen and Pheobe are very high driven bunnies with lots of energy, we’d prefer they had an enclosure over the minimum, with lots of enrichment and natural stimulation to keep their busy minds at bay!

21/07/2023

Today I carried out nail clipping and health checks on all our sanctuary herd🤍

I thought I’d introduce you all to our oldest sow!

This is peanut, we’ve had her since she was a little baby.
Peanut is now at the fantastic age of 8 and a half years old !! 🥹🐽🤍
She is still absolutely thriving and a healthy piggy. you wouldn’t believe her age at all!

Our herd consists of so many, such as girls who have been with us a while and even before we started the rescue, the elderly, some blind, some with spontaneous issues, those who we have fallen madly in love with and those who have been passed from place to place and need a forever home to call their own where they can live the rest of their life out in peace! ❤️

I must admit to some of our girls being right chunks 🫣🫢.

We adore our girls 🤍
And Our neutered male too. Hugo 🥹💙

20/07/2023

Afternoon everyone! xx
Id like to make a post to thank absolutely everyone for your incredible support. We’ve finally got just less than 100 follower to go before we hit 1000! 🫢🤍.
We’ve been absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of donations we’ve received and we are so thankful.
We are also so appreciative of the gifts we’ve received from our Amazon wishlist 🙏🏼🤍.
(We also had some junior bunny food and we are now stocked up so thankyou !)

We’ve managed to get Nellie and Theo (the new nethies) booked in for vaccinations on the 26th along with a check up for bean.
We will have Nellie assessed at the vets and if the vet says it’s safe to go ahead then we will book her in for her teeth surgery/removal also.

We have booked buns, Otis and Finley in for castrations on the 27th and we have Levi and Iris booked for the 28th for vaccinations too.

So it’s rather chaotic and busy round here as per.

The newest piggies are doing fantastic and are constantly eating ! 🐽💗
They’re putting on weight already.

Neutered male Digby and his girlfriend bonnie found their forever home and left yesterday to live with another two females in a lovely huge c&c enclosure 🤍!

I think that’s it for now 🤍

16/07/2023

Today we picked up 12 (supposed to be 14) female piggies from another ‘rescue’.
They needed them going as had to close due to issues I won’t go into.
We honestly expected healthy piggies who would be ready to be adopted straight away.
She didn’t inform us on the fact they were ill, extremely underweight etc.

We drove down to Liverpool (1hr 50 away) to go pick these piggies up.
We took them home and health checked them..
there are 4 baby/younger girls who she told us were roughly 10 months.
These piggies we only 8-12 weeks if that.

They are so extremely underweight, to the point I can feel each individual rib bones. their hips and spines are prominent also. (One in particular is extremely bad) Never have I ever felt rib bones on a Guinea pig. This goes for most of the older ones too. emaciated and frail.

She told us some of them had bad cases of ringworm and mites, she said the last time she treated for mites was a month ago, in theory they should’ve cleared up by now.
Some still have bad ringworm round their faces and most have obvious mites.
They smelt so incredibly bad. They were filthy. Their nails were full with dirt/mud. I don’t know where they were living, but Guinea pigs don’t smell like that. Some of The little ones fur was visibly dirty.
They were all so hungry. They wouldn’t stop eating.
When we bring new piggies home, you’ll often find they’ll hide for a while before they come out to eat and drink.
Not these guys.
They were out eating instantly.

To add to all this, One of the females has a rather round belly that would indicate pregnant to us, she hasn’t got symptoms for bloat (for example she would be lethargic and not eating, her tummy would be tight).
We asked and the lady spoke about the fact she had an emergency herd come in with babies (mixed s*x) and was told they were between 2-4 weeks so added them to the herd of girls thinking it would be okay.

Despite the fact Baby boys can impregnate girls (sisters and mums) from 3-4 weeks and so should be separated… ??!!

She told us this was about 5-6 weeks ago so they would be half way through their pregnancy.

As a result, we now have 12 piggies that have to be on pregnancy watch.
I’m hoping due to all this, the majority didn’t get caught.

Despite the fact absolutely none of them are in the right conditions to have babies, I cannot imagine the younger ones would survive a pregnancy unless we can get them back to health quickly.. and if they were lucky enough, the litter sure wouldn’t.

This is so far from what we expected if I’m honest… there’s so much to add but it honestly makes us so angry and sad.
We’ve weighed them also so will be keeping an eye to make sure they are building it all back on.

If anyone can help us with essentials such as food or a donation for veggies etc etc we’d be extremely grateful.
We are rather frustrated at the moment but we will do everything we can for these babies obviously.
So much for Guinea pig appreciation day 😩.
Thankyou. 🤍🐽

HAPPY GUINEA PIG APPRECIATION DAY!! 🐽🤍

We are currently on our way to Liverpool to pick up 14 females who we will introduce you to once we are home and they’re settled.

I just wanted to share, we have so many beautiful boy pairs currently available for adoption.
Boys are always overlooked and undoubtedly are always the ones in rescue the longest and we can never understand why.

No they’re not fighting, If the boys didn’t get along then we wouldn’t be putting them up for adoption together!..

Yes they’re just as sweet and friendly and girls are, In my opinion/experience and I know a lot will agree on this, boys are so much sweeter than girls are. They’re so outgoing, adventurous and full of personality.
Some of our current boys are very scared still and need your love and patience.

Please consider adopting a male pair, they need you 🙏🏼💙.

14/07/2023

These two beautiful buns have just joined us.
Despite a genuine surrender reason, unfortunately it has come to our understanding that the female has extremely overgrown, top, front incisors.

Netherland dwarfs are an extreme breed with Brachycephalic (flat) faces, meaning they are prone to teeth issues such as malocclusion as well as many other problems.
We were told by their previous owner that she had to keep having her bottom incisors clipped as they were growing at an alarming rate. So They took the decision to remove the bottom ones.

Whilst I’m sure they didn’t intentionally mean to have left her like this, she is now in pain and has been for a little while.
They are growing completely sideways out the corner of her mouth as you can see in the photo.
I can imagine eating is uncomfortable for her at the moment also. (She is still eating thankfully)

Instead of being trimmed, as this will likely need to be done multiple times, undoubtedly causing her unnecessary stress, We will be getting her booked ASAP to have these removed.
(Rabbits without incisors will do just fine with only their molars)
Despite both bunnies being neutered and spayed they do need vaccinations.

Im certain their previous owner did love them very much, she was in tears bless her as she dropped them over, she even left us with a donation to help cover one of their vaccinations which is always so very appreciated. But she does now need extreme dental work that will cost us a lot and means she is likely now in pain.

If anyone could spare a few pennies to help towards vaccinations and the dental/vet care that she will need, as always we’d be incredibly thankful. 🤍

Definitely needed to be said 👏🏻.

It’s frustrating having to write a second ranty post in a week! But my patience is wearing incredibly thin…..
When you ask to surrender a rabbit to SRR, yes we will ask you many questions, yes we will ask you for an appropriate donation towards the costs this will incur, why? Because why shouldn’t we! How do you think we get the money? We’re just normal, working people who don’t have millions in the bank despite what you might think.
I AM SICK OF…… I can’t give them the attention they need, why? I work 40 hours a week, have a family and 40+ animals to care for. Don’t talk to me about not having time.
I AM SICK OF…… my rabbit is aggressive and I’ve done all I can. You’ve just told me your rabbit is not neutered, lives in a tiny space and is alone. You’ve not done all you can, you just cannot be bothered.
I AM SICK OF….. we’re moving house and can’t take them with us. No, you just don’t want to take them with you is what you mean.
I AM SICK OF….. we got a puppy and it doesn’t like the rabbits. Rehome the dog then, give it back to the breeder you more than likely purchased it off. Why are the rabbits always the ones who have to go?
I AM SICK OF…… my rabbit is lonely and I can’t afford to get another one, can you take it? This is the problem of NOT going to a reputable rescue isn’t it, any pet shop or breeder will sell you a rabbit regardless of your circumstances, it’s on you to do your research.
I AM MEGA SICK OF …….the kids got bored. Maybe, why don’t you teach your sprogs the meaning of RESPONSIBILITY 👏 or better yet, do your research before hand, because then you wouldn’t have bought your kids a rabbit because you’d know how unsuitable rabbits are as a child’s pet.

The amount of snotty responses and attitude we receive from people when we simply can’t stretch ourselves any further is DISGUSTING. Why is it my fault that you are irresponsible? Why is it now on me to take in your rabbit/s that we don’t have the funding or space for?
We’re living in such a self entitled society that people feel they’re entitled to bin their rabbits off, onto us, the minute they become even a slight inconvenience. Honestly, you all need to grow up.

This isn’t to discourage people asking us for help, in fact we’ve helped many of cases where genuine people have needed to surrender their rabbits to us, and I’m confident they would tell you how compassionate and helpful we are.
This is more so to make you wake up and realise that you are the one who is in this pickle, you need to do all you can to help this situation not have the attitude of, take it I can’t cope, it’s your problem now. It’s not my problem, I’m not the one who’s irresponsibly taken on an animal that I can’t handle/lost interest in.

I’ve snapped at a few people this week, I’m a human too, I have emotions and feelings too. But according to them, we’re not allowed to tell them facts and home truths, we can’t politely state that they’re giving their rabbits inadequate care because that then means that we are the A # and how dare we upset people.

We are at breaking point, do I need a to remind anyone that the main rescue is still closed, has been for 2 months and will continue to be until September. We can’t adopt any of the rabbits here, we cannot bring new rabbits in. We are out of action. We’re having to heavily rely on fosters and our wonderful team to keep us going. There are 30 rabbits at SRR main site that have been stuck here since may, we still have to take care of them as well as being responsible for ALL of the rabbits that are being fostered for us.

Oh and I’ve got to mention the whole ‘ well pet shops sell hutches so it’s fine, I went to a petting farm and the rabbits there were handled and liked it’ - oh cool ok, you’re absolutely right I devote my entire life to rabbit welfare but because you’ve had a rabbit one time then you know better. We’re a generation of people who do not like to be told they’re wrong, self pride and ego are unfortunately worth way may than caring for your animal. How sad is that?

Hey everyone ! xx
A little update on milo.
We are taking it day by day. today was a big day for milo. Today we have seen the most improvement in him since.

He had left his bed on his own to use the litter tray which before he couldn’t find the strength to do !
Tonight he had also left his bed to eat with all the other cats 🥹❤️‍🩹.
We did have to remove him eventually (he’s on a higher calorie food to help with weight gain) but it was an extremely incredible thing to witness.
It doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to most but it brought a tear to our eyes.
He is far from better and we still don’t know any answers.
Bit milo is improving even if it’s just the slightest.
He is doing things he didn’t before..

Milo lost an incredible amount of weight when he became poorly. He is still extremely underweight but he has since gained 🥹.

We are over the moon with how milo is coping. We are far from the end but for now we are somewhat making progress.
Thankyou everyone for your support and donations towards milo 💙❤️‍🩹.
We are overwhelmed and so very thankful.

I’ve just found these on eBay for only £11.99 !
We are running low on hides after having to throw quite a few of old ones away so if anyone would like to gift us one, we’d be extremely appreciative! xx 🤍🤍🥹.
Please don’t feel pressured too !!
We’d just be incredibly thankful!
(We will be painting them to allow for them to last much longer !)

I will be doing an update on milo later on 💙.

Thankyou 🙏🏼💗 xx

Hey everyone. Hope your all well.
Thought I’d update you on milo.
Unfortunately we are seeing little improvement at the moment..
the day he came home from the vet, he was eating on his own, drinking and using the litter tray, we hoped it was the anti-sickness jab he had and that it was just a bug after all.
Unfortunately we are back to being a bit clueless as he’s now the same as before. He won’t get out of his bed, we have to put him in the litter tray , syringe him liquids and hand feed him food. He’s the same today. Little to no energy and won’t leave his bed unless we get him out ourselves and then otherwise he will just sit in the hallway.
It’s looking like we may be going back to the vets at this rate.
He’s just not really improving at all ..
it’s so sad to see him in such a way. He’s lost so much weight so quickly, he’s frail and skinny.
He’s not himself. It’s heartbreaking ☹️.

I cannot thank you all enough for the donations you’ve made towards milo 🙏🏼🥹❤️‍🩹.
Your absolute angels all of you.
We’ve raised about £80 so far I believe from online donations aswell as a huge check of £100 coming our way from a family member 💗.

This is going to help an awful lot, it’s £180 less for us to pay 😮‍💨.
Thankyou all again for you continued support. 🤍.

Unfortunately Todays been a different and difficult one.
We were supposed to have Levi and Iris at the vets for vaccinations this evening.

Two days ago we noticed that milo (cat) was very lethargic and wouldn’t get off the cat tree. He wouldn’t go to use the litter tray and he would barely eat. And wouldn’t drink at all.
It’s heartbreaking to see him in this way.

As a bit of a backstory for milo.
We fostered 5 kittens over a year ago now from a hoarding situation and milo was one of those kittens. Milo only has one working eye, he cannot be neutered as he has only some boy bits, he has a lower immune system (strictly an indoor cat) and has stunted growth. We decided to keep milo as a ‘sanctuary cat’. Milo is forever apart of the family 💙.

Milo was older than all the other cats yet his ‘brother’ who we kept ,patch, is now twice his size.

Milo is the Face of why it’s so irresponsible and truly disgusting that people inbreed and breed unhealthy cats… hoard and exploit them.
Milos siblings could be suffering for all we know and we are truly thankful for the fact he has done so well up until now.

We gave it another day to see if he’d improve.
Unfortunately he was the same but would take food from our hands. He lost significant amounts of weight very sudden.
Today we knew we had vets so we decided to take milo along.
Unfortunately they had limited time so Milo took priority over the buns vaccines due to obvious reasons.
Milo was weighed and was a significant 1.9 kg.
He’s always been small, skinny and little but never weighed this little nor was this bony.. Milo was fully checked over and there wasn’t anything obvious. he did have enlarged kidneys however they were suspected to have been due to being dehydrated.
we decided to have bloods done then and there.
We waited an hour for results in the vet, lots of worrying and tears. It was truly nerve racking.
When she finally called us in for the results we were extremely pleased to hear that the results were fairly positive. His kidneys didn’t show any signs of failure 🙏🏼🥹. This was one of our worries. (Doesn’t rule out cancer)
He had his blood tested for many many things.
He was also tested for feline diseases that are transmittable as we do have other cats and thankfully he was negative for those too..

Although these are good signs, this doesn’t rule out any reasoning as to why this is happening to him.
The vet said that it could be as simple as he’s picked up a bug or virus that has affected milo significantly more due to his size and lower immune system, that could make him feel nauseous or similar and cause him such symptoms and to become lethargic.
We hope this this is the cause and that he will improve in the next few days.
They gave him an injection to reduce nausea feelings to hopefully enhance milo to eat and drink on his own and overall have more energy.
If he doesn’t improve we will have to get him more test and scans to rule out the issue.
Our current worst case would be that milo has cancer… only scans will prove this at the moment. if milo has cancer unfortunately we don’t think anything could be done for him. He’s always been a weaker, smaller and ‘less healthy’ cat. There will be very limited options.
we are going to do everything physically possible that we can for milo.
Todays costs reached over £230.
We spent over 2 hours at the vets today 😩.
We are keeping an extremely close eye on milo. We are hoping he will eat, drink on his own and also use the litter tray.
Milos temp was a little higher than normal at 39 however could’ve been due to stress at the vets so we will be taking this again at home a litter later on. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻☹️

If anyone would be kind enough to donate at all to Milo’s treatment/s we’d be incredibly greatful.
We still have 5 rabbit vaccinations to go and about 11 rabbit neuters. Way Over £1000 .
We are currently closed for intakes..
we are very overwhelmed and stressed at the moment. 😩
Even just £1 soon adds up and makes an incredible difference.
Imagine if every one of our over 800 followers donated just £1, the difference would be phenomenal.
We will always and forever be beyond belief in how truly thankful we are for every person that has ever donated, gifted or supported us in any way.
We wouldn’t be able to help as many as we have. I’m not sure we’d even still be running at this point.
