Bubbles had her operation on Tuesday evening (7th December 2010) and is recovering well.
Bubbles has been very down in the dumps and this hasn't been helped by the buster collar (cats loathe these!). So much so, she managed to remove it herself, and on the vets advice we are able to leave it off as long as she doesn’t start hassling her legs! She is on painkillers and wasn’t really interested in her food earlier today. She is on cage rest and was missing her pal “Simba” so we decided to put the cage into his room.
We have continued to give her lots of TLC and hand fed her some chicken and tuna this afternoon and we're really pleased to report that she ate it all and has perked up!
She is not out of the woods yet but recovering as well as we expected after such a huge operation.
It was our vet Mark Nelson BVMS MRCVS of Nelson Veterinary Surgery who referred us to Noel Fitzpatrick Duniv MVB CertVR CertSAO MRCVS of Fitzpatrick Referrals and we are very pleased that he did, as Bubbles is only 2yrs old and deserves a fighting chance.
Our non destruct policy means that we have to deal with these situations as they arise. They are extremely rare but are costly. A huge thank you to Noel Fitzpatrick who has kept the costs as low as possible as we are a charity.
Foal Farm is a charity organisation and receives no Government funding. We rely entirely on donations from the public and wthout our generous supporters we would not be able to care for Danni, or any other animal in need.
You can help by donating to the ‘Bubbles Appeal’ fund* where funding will go towards Bubbles’ operation and subsequent treatment to help Bubbles recover.
All enquiries in relation to donating to the ‘Bubbles Appeal’ should be addressed to the fundraising team at fundraising@foalfarm.org.uk
*any surplus funds raised will be used to fund other veterinary treatments
