Hi Guys,
If anyone can help this older gentleman, PLEASE let me know! He's currently in a vets in Nottingham (Mapperley), and will go to the RSPCA on tomorrow - we know what that likely means for a senior
This is from the vet who is trying to help him:
We are desperately trying to find a home for this lovely oldie. He had fiv/felv test, negative, and we are waiting for t4 and renal profile. He will stay with us till Monday, then RSPCA will get him...and we don't want that! He is sooo adorable, loves fuss and eats well. Can you help us find a home for him? Liz, any ideas? Thanks! xxx
The blood results showed he is hyperthyroid. A couple of liver enzymes were also out, but this was due to the thyroid problem. The rest of the results were pretty good for an oldie! The nurses raised enough funds to also get him 2-months worth of Felimazole (he's on 2.5mg twice a day). He's really skinny, but he should gain weight nicely once the drugs start balancing out.
Now, I have a lovely home offered for him, but it's in Essex (awaiting exact location). The lady said if a local home is offered, that's fine, but if not, she'll happily adopt him. We have to get him out the practice tomorrow, even if it's in a foster home, as the owner of the practice is NOT happy about strays being in. The lady offering the home said a pet transporter can collect him and take him to her, at a cost of £65, but that's not until Thursday next week.
If anyone can help transport him, please let me know. I haven't even had a short-term foster home offered, so we're running out of time...
Thanks in advance,
Liz xx
