We seem to be going through one of those bad runs of luck at the moment. Patch and a young pup were taken from us at the beginning of the month. Then things seemed to brighten up when Shaun found a foster home. Unfortunately some of his behaviour was worrying the foster home and although, as far as we've seen, this behaviour has not progressed to anything serious we obviously couldn't take chances. So he came back to us. There are some positives to take from his time in a home as most of his life was spent in a barn having food thrown in now and again - so he can be forgiven for being a bit off now and again I suppose !!
Yesterday we homed a smashing young chap who had been with us almost two weeks. A few hours later his new owner rang to say he seemed really unwell. He'd been okay when he left and from the description it was obviously not just down to the stress of the move. Fortunately they were only 15 minutes away so having collected Rachel, the kennel manager, we visited and it was obvious he needed to see a vet. An hour or so after getting him to our vet he passed away and a post mortem revealed he'd most likely died from an internal bleed that was of natural causes. Although the worry of some infection going around was lifted it was still an upsetting end for all involved.
The joys of rescue work bring such highs and lows and you have to go with the punches at times but please keep your fingers crossed for some good luck from now on !!
Bye for now
Ben
