โฆ(the one who came to us with hookworm, anaemia and mange) is in his foster home while he gets better. He's hoovered up his meals, laid claim to a couch, barked indignantly at the gardener (who patted him reassuringly) and only peed on the floor once.

Vipes came to us with hookworm, anaemia and mange. But now his gums are pink, his skin is healing and his tail has remembered how to wagโฆ a lot! It will take a few weeks for his hair to regrow, but his skin and coat are now soft and glowing.
Vipes is almost ready to go to a foster home where he will get the most important treatment of all: love.

โฆthis 2kg puppy has survived. He came to us last week with severe seizures. These seizures did not respond to treatment and he had to be put under general anaesthesia for several hours to allow his brain to rest.
Patients often don't survive this condition, but this one has bounced back with ease. He is eating with gusto and growing like a champ.
With his medical history, he needs a family ๐ฐอ๐กอ๐จอ อ๐ฎอ๐งอ๐อ๐อ๐ซอ๐ฌอ๐ญอ๐อ๐งอ๐อ อ๐กอ๐ขอ๐ฌอ อ๐อ๐จอ๐งอ๐อ๐ขอ๐ญอ๐ขอ๐จอ๐งอ อ๐อ๐งอ๐อ อ๐ญอ๐กอ๐อ อ๐ซอ๐ขอ๐ฌอ๐คอ๐ฌอ อ๐อ๐งอ๐อ อ๐ซอ๐อ๐ฌอ๐ฉอ๐จอ๐งอ๐ฌอ๐ขอ๐อ๐ขอ๐ฅอ๐ขอ๐ญอ๐ฒอ.

โฆto hear that Tspoon โ a pup we met on a recent outreach to Kleinkranz โ has made a full recovery from parvovirus.
"I can't thank the incredible team at PDSA enough," says Tspoon's owner Jacqui, "especially Vanessa, who went above and beyond to care for my furry girl.
"Your dedication, expertise and compassion meant the world to me during a very scary time. But it didn't stop there: the aftercare and moral support I received from the PDSA team was just as vital in Tspoon's recovery. Your guidance and encouragement helped me navigate the challenging aftermath of Parvo, and I'm forever grateful.
"Thank you, PDSA, for giving me my happy, healthy pup back!"

With 56 dogs sterilised (and cats still being done), our spayathon in Touwstanten showed what we as a community can achieve when we pull together, and what we can learn from each other.
We hope that this is just a first step and that the next one will be bigger and even better!

๐ A Heartfelt Thank You ๐
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Vanessa from the PDSA in George for her exceptional care and support during a challenging time for our beloved Tspoon. Dealing with Parvovirus was incredibly tough, but Vanessa's dedication and compassion makes all the difference. Not only does she provide top-notch medical attention, but also invaluable emotional support. I am immensely grateful for her kindness and professionalism, as well as for the incredible work done by the entire organization. Tspoon IS on the road to recovery, and I know it wouldn't have been possible without Vanessa and the PDSA. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! So grateful.
