2 NewArrivals with problems

Post by honeybunny »

Had these two boars handed in yesterday and once again we have been given supposedly well cared for and loved animals that have problems not noticed by owner
Fisrt boy now named Lloyd has watery eyes and a large lump on his back leg

Image

then Tumby. He has a bad mite infestation and his back end is matted, smelly and filthy

Image

this pic shows signs of mites..quite obvious

Image

they are now with Ange who will sort out the dirty one and our rodentologist will hopefully take a look

Oh dear poor boys :( thank goodness they will now be treated by a vet, it does make me wonder when owners supposedly do not notice their pets are poorly, I'm sure they must do, but for whatever reason will not take them to the vet but would rather give them up to a rescue, which is very unfair on the rescues, it's all so sad :( I thought we were supposed to be a nation of animal lovers?
