The Vet is called out again



Another kitten was rehomed this morning but 2 more were brought in by a farmer who Im delighted to say had just had the mother cat spayed.Music to my ears.We now have 35 kittens here, there is no more room at the inn!
The vet had to be called out to Tanya (photos above)the old horse who is not eating , her teeth are in a bad state and she is having difficulty eating her food, she is also in pain with her feet so she is put on pain relief for the time being.We will have to see what the farrier says and the dentist is coming out on Tuesday so he can look to see what work needs doing.It looks like her owner had trimmed her feet himself but he has done a terrible job and has not helped her at all.The prognosis on her longterm health may be poor.As with the Anglesey ponies, she is to have box rest for the time being at least.
A reservation has been made for Flossie the collie who was found on the bypass last month, she is one of those dogs that you cant find anything wrong with, her personality is sweet and gentle, she is good natured with everything that moves and the only reason she is still here is that her age(7) is too old for most people.I much prefer dogs this age than the manic youngsters which are admittedly full of fun but hard work also.Her new people are retired and they are a match made in heaven.
