Pledge a Pound

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



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



this pic shows signs of mites..quite obvious



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

Poor boys Hope they get sorted, how old are they?

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?

they are 3 and 4 years old
Tumby has had a bath, trim and nails seen to. Lloyd has been anti mite sprayed..too scared to take a bath. His teeth and lump will be checked very shortly. Both eating well

Poor chaps

Hope they are feeling better soon, they've very handsome x

just to update
both piggies recovered from their problems and Lloyd went to live with an older sow and his new owner is out old guinea pet vet who retired earlier in the year
and Tumby is living with a sow and owned by a lovely lady who has Honeybunnies as well as Honeypigs

That's good news that they've both landed on their paws with forever homes

Wonderful news for them both- thanks for updating us.
