Pheonix 🌱

Last night, we found Pheonix very painful. We checked him over and didn't see anything outright wrong with him. We tried offering food, and he refused. We quickly got him in a carrier on a puppy pad so we could monitor his peeing and pooping. We also gave some additional pain medication to see if we could get him more comfortable. He has arthritis and airway damage so he is already on a daily antiinflammatory/pain medication. The medication did help and he started eating lettuce, peed and pooped which was a huge relief. 💉

The vet had a last-minute cancelation today, so I rushed out of work to run home and get him. We just got to the vet, and they are doing the exam. The estimate for today's appointment is ~400+ for exam, x-rays, and possibly some lab work. We could really use some help as we are drowning in medical bills lately. 🙏

Crackers ⚜️

Crackers has always been a very active and crazy boy. He isn't able to bond to anyone as he is just TOO much and doesn't know when to back off. He does great as a neighbor piggy and is very interactive with them through the bars. 🐽

Recently, Crackers has slowed down a bit and even let a friend pet him, which is not normal for him. He isn't the most social boy with humans and doesn't seek out attention. He also seemed to be breathing a little harder than normal, which was concerning. We got him into the vet immediately as we worried he may have heart issues like his daddy did. Luckily, the vet really didn't find anything wrong. Possibly, he has mild signs of CBS, but the x-ray wasn't definitive. As precaution, the vet prescribed some antibiotics for him. We will recheck xrays in a month. 🩻

Fern 🪴

Ferns vet appointment determined her heart is doing just fine. We are actually backing off some heart medication. She is still losing weight so we are staying on top of her critical care feedings. We also are starting an antibiotic trial to see if that helps. Her blood work came back unremarkable which doesn't really help us. For now she is doing OK, but her weight loss is quite concerning. Healing vibes needed for her on this journey! 🙏

Fern also wanted to say THANK YOU to those that sent us critical care!! 📦

Fern update 🏥

After her vet visit this week, we have learned that her heart is in GREAT shape. All her medication is working well. Her blood work came back normal, and there aren't any concerns. We will actually be lowering her heart medication to see if that helps with her being so sleepy. 💤

Fern never used to be a cuddler as she likes to explore and get snacks, but lately, she has taken up snuggling with us. After she gets her critical care, she will start licking me to tell me she is done and ready for snuggles. She tucks her head in my neck and lays down for a quick nap. 💕

Fern is asking if anyone can help us out and send us some critical care. We go through a big bag at least every week to feed all the senior and sick pigs in rescue. They do prefer the apple and banana flavor! 🙏

Willow 🤍

Willow and her best friend Amber were adopted a few years back to an amazing family. Sadly, over the years, allergies started to be an issue, and the owner was suffering. Willow has a bad eye that was addressed by a vet before we got her back. Although we know all vets do their very best, we wanted our exotic vet to take a look to make sure the treatment she is on was right for her needs. 👁

Despite the eye looking crazy, the pressure matches the other eye, which is what we wanted to hear. The eye doesn't need to be removed and is causing her no pain. We are sure she is blind in that eye, so she does tilt her head a bit to be able to see what she wants to see. 👀

Willow is at least 5, but likely closer to 6 or maybe even 7. I will have to dig through old records to find if I have an estimated birthday. She was adopted back in 2021 before all our records were digital. I am happy to report the vet said she is otherwise very healthy for her old age! 🏥

We haven't decided for sure if we will be keeping her and Amber as sanctuary or if we will be listed them as a special needs adoption. We will keep you updated! 🏠

Fern 🪴

For those that have been following for a while, im sure you know Fern. Fern has quite the story and has fought through many health issues to make it to today. We know she is in heart failure and has been for a while. Luckily, it's been petty controlled with medication. 🩷

Recently, we have noticed a decrease in her weight and she is extra tired lately. We have tried supplement feeding through the day and offering critical care for her in a bowl overnight, but her weight keeps going down. She LOVES critical care. Truly, I don't know if any other piggy loves it as much as she does. She knows the sounds of us preparing it and knows when we sit down what we have, so she runs over to us and begs. Yes, her door to her cage is open most of the time, and she goes in and out as she pleases. 🏠

Fern goes to the vet tomorrow for a check-up and to see if there is anything else we can add to her medication regiment to help. On top of heart failure, she also has ovarian cysts and calcified bolus. We hope for OK news, but I have a feeling our time is limited with Fern. 🏥

Losing her will break my heart. We have lost so many of out long term sanctuary animals lately, I just can't fathom losing another, especially Fern. I do love them all, but everything Fern has been through and her crazy personality has made a huge impact on us here in rescue. 💕

Happy Tails! 🎉

Boone joined a loving home this weekend. After being offered as a live feeder to snake, he was terrified of everything. He is still very scared of people and any noise, but we hope having a friend will encourage him to trust humans again. Congrats to Boone and his new family! 💚

Available for adoption! 😻

Notes from the foster:
"Baby G is a darling boy with medium energy. He’s very sweet, and needs lots of attention. He’s always purring, and loves people. He’s silly and adorable, and is very vocal if he doesn’t get enough attention. He would be great with gentle kids, and he loves being held. He’s a little shy with cats and dogs but warms up pretty quickly. "

Happy Tails! 🎉

Kevin and Stewart FINALLY found a loving home. These boys had been passed up time and time again due to being all white with red/blue eyes. They are the SWEETEST boys and truly a perfect pair. In their new home they get a HUGE cage and a very dedicated family to care for them! 🏡

The foster was so sad to say goodbye today, but SO very happy that they found such a great home! 🩵

A hamster named Harold

The hamster obsession all started with an old man hamster named Harold. Harold had belonged to a international student that needed to move back home. She had posted on a local animal group that she was looking for a home for him. I had never owned a rodent, my mom wouldn’t have allowed that. Being an animal lover, I took on my first hamster. Ever since the day I got him, I knew I loved hamsters. He started a hamster craze, and I was out to learn all I could about these little guys. As time went on, I would see other animals like gerbils, mice and rabbits that also needed a refuge. Some pregnant, others beat up and some already deceased. Since 2017 I have been rescuing animals and doing what I could to educate pet owners on proper care. There is no shame in giving up an animal, especially when there are so many groups and organizations to rescue. I learn something new about pets each day as I have expanded my horizon of rescuing to include reptiles. My first experience with a leopard gecko was quite something......Stay tuned for more rescue and adoption stories!
