Wise Old Thumper
Tilly came to us from a friend of my Daughter. She was kept in horrendous conditions.
My Daughter brought her home with the hutch she was living in. 3 inches or so of urine soaked sawdust, no hay and a bowl of muesli.
Tilly had horrendous urine scald on her feet and her nails were very long.
I set up a puppy pen for her in the garage, clipped her nails and applied cream to her feet.
She absolutely loved the hay I gave her and enjoyed all her veggies too
A few weeks later we adopted Hettie and they were great friends from the start.
In the winter it was too cold in the garage so the pen was moved into the dining area of the kitchen and this is where they stayed permanently!
She was diagnosed with Osteoporosis shortly after she came to live with us but, with a good diet, she coped well and seemed to improve really quickly.
Tilly got ill with cysts and had to be spayed. She quickly bounced back but, a short while later, had problems with her weeing and was constantly wet. We got his under control with med's.
Last week she more or less stopped eating. Despite medication and syringe feeding, she deteriorated rapidly and we had to make the heartbreaking decision to help her to the bridge
I'm so glad she had over 2 years with us and I hope she enjoyed her new life with a friend, a dry pen and good food and care.
Hettie is doing surprisingly well and I'm in the process of getting her a new friend.
We are all missing you wheeking for food, Tilly, and we are missing your cute little face. We all love you so much and it is very hard on us all at the moment
