The Precious Diaries - Part 2

Precious has been in our care for a week now, and she is doing well. For the first few days she was kept in her accident cage to try and let her rest up, but she was eager to try and get out to have a walk about, before getting bored and going back to bed! Although she has still been weeing herself a bit, we have been very pleased to see that she has actually been using her litter tray as well! And we were even happier when she finally managed to do a poo, as we had been told that she had not had one for the five days before she came to us. She still doesn't seem to have too much of an appetite, so we have been trying to encourage her with different types of food.

The staff have been spending lots of time with her since she arrived, and we have been letting her out for little walks every day. After a couple of days she was moving about a lot more, and was able to walk a lot faster with less wobbling too. We decided to give her the extra large accident cage so she had a bit more space to exercise her legs, and now she stands up and "miaows" to greet you when you enter the room. The air underneath her skin has also started to go down a bit, so we are hoping that soon it will all have gone and she will be back to her normal shape and size. Although she is improving there is still a long way to go until she makes a full recovery, and she will never go back to how she was before. When she is well enough, she will also have her tail amputated as it now gets dragged behind her where she can no longer feel it.
