J ackie had already lost part of her hind limb when she was brought to our clinic, but the open remaining wound required immediate medical attention. Fortunately, apart from her severed limb, Jackie was in good shape for a senior lady, and she soon settled into a life of comfort with us, compared to what she had previously known on the streets. While we often return animals to their respective territories once they’ve made full recoveries (if an adoptive home cannot be found and there are community carers to watch out for them), Jackie’s age and her slight disability means that she would be very vulnerable, so we will keep her safe and loved. However, she would do very well in a quiet home where she could sleep away her days and enjoy tasty meals.
If you cannot adopt this adorable senior soul, then why not sponsor her retirement needs instead?
Towards the end of February 2022, Jackie's appetite declined. The blood test revealed advanced kidney insufficiency. She was put on fluid therapy, but her renal values did not improve and he stayed a picky eater. She was maintained on supplements and despite deteriorating health, she stayed alert and content for a few more weeks. On July 20th, as her condition deteriorated further, we decided to put her to sleep. We are grateful to have given her several happy years. May her soul rest in peace!
