An Exciting Weekend!

[furryfriends (TEAS)]

This weekend sees the return home of some temporary sanctuary residents. Although I am going to miss them all greatly, getting them fit, and able to go home to their family, makes me really happy.

Gizmo, who arrived with severe dental issues, has made fantastic progress, and although he will be returning for a check up in early November, is eating really well. To watch him tucking into food, you would never believe he had had dental problems. He won't be going home alone though, he will be taking with him his new friend, Chester, who he was introduced to during his stay at TEAS.

Gizmo and Chester aren't the only ones heading to Scotland this weekend. Amber and Ruby are also heading home. Amber came here with a retrobulbar abscess, and unfortunately lost her eye, but has made a full recovery. They too will be taking with them a little friend. Baloo, who came to TEAS from Rainbow Ark, and was neutered just after arriving here, now lives with the girls, and is looking forward to meeting his forever family. This trip home is tinged with sadness though, as Amber and Ruby's sister, Misty, will be remaining at TEAS, as she is still needing regular two weekly, dentals.

They will all be leaving TEAS on Sunday teatime, thanks to help from the Facebook Piggy Train Group.

That's fantastic news for Gizmo, Chester, Baloo Amber and Ruby, not only going home fit and well but with new companions also. Hoping Misty will be able to join them in the not to distant future...

Well done Debbie and all at TEAS although it will be hard saying goodbye the piggies wouldn't be here without all your hard work and they will be forever greatful xx

Well done! You are doing such a great job in getting as many dental piggies fit to return to their owners as possible while caring at the sanctuary for those that need regular dental care for a good quality of life.

Rainbow Ark rescues Mererid, Morwenna and Myfina are sending their best wheeks to their relative and wish him a happy time with his new family!

Oh that is fantastic! I remember reading about Gizmo and his struggles to eat. You have done such amazing work to get him well and how lovely he has found a friend too. It is lovely Amber and Ruby are going home too.

Such a lot has happened since I posted yesterday. Gizmo ended up needing an emergency vet appointment due to having mild bloat. It seems that Chester, who has been living with him for a few months now, and has just reached the stroppy teenager age, has started to bully Gizmo. He wasn't letting Gizmo near the food or water. Gizmo was given sub cut fluids and gut motility drugs and is doing well again now. Unfortunately this means Gizmo will be travelling back to Scotland today without Chester, but we are looking at other options for Gizmo. For now I think it is important that Gizmo can get home, put some weight on and then we can find him the perfect friend.
