My Sherpa turned 9 on the 25th(well he has been with me 9years). he has been through alot the past few years, he has arthritis in his spine, he is a pateruella carrier and constantly suffering with runny eyes-his tear ducts have complelty blocked and the vets cant figure out why(nothing on xrays), he suffered with flystrike last year, and his teeth have ages so much that it has caused malocclusion. i put him through a GA once to fix this but his recovery was so bad i vowed i wouldnt do it again. right now he is on soft mushy food as he cant eat hard food anymore. but he has struggled through and never once complained.
so just to say Happy Birthday to Sherpa, well done my fuzzbutt, i always knew you'd make it to your birthday.
Some photos to celebrate
Here he is, the first summer we had him. rescued from being a pub easter bunny with his brother Sorrel. this has been scanned in as he pre-dates digital camera's! :shock:
Him with his pals
and his enemies :lol:
2 years ago
last year
after the flystrike attack
when his teeth started to go he would try and wash but just saliva stain his feet, causing the fur to fall out. he had socks on untill the fur grew back as i didnt want him to get sores.
