11/2/25 Dorset
It's been a very worrying couple of days at the Dorset location.
Our oldest resident and our only Shetland was acting differently yesterday, although eating, she wouldn't leave the shelter at all and appeared lethargic. She was very wet I guess from being out it the rain Sunday night so I shut her in the shelter along with hay, water , chaff and some metacam, she didn't seem bothered about her friends at all and being quite frail I was worried that she'd get knocked over.
I woke up this morning and kept bursting into tears fearing that she hadn't made it through the night.
Today she was slightly brighter but still not herself, I'd booked a vet visit first thing this morning and Bella has an infection, although it's not known where it's coming from.
I will of course be keeping a close eye on Bella, especially as she's old, almost completely blind and frail.
I just hope she makes a full recovery π
