Dippy......
'Dippy' arrived from one of my safe release gardens as he was spotted out during the day. Underweight and dehydrated with a tummy bug, so treatment and fluids started.
He continued to do well, managing to put on 150gms in weight in two weeks. Seen here doing what Dippy does every day - plotting his escape while being cleaned out. Will be going for release very soon.
Fowler......
This skinny little chap was admitted after he had found his way inside a chicken coup and decided it would be quite nice to bed down with the chickens. 'Fowler' couldn't stay there, so was brought in for a supposedly quick MOT, but as he is very underweight will be having bed and board here for a while. Will be tested for internal parasites whilst here and treated accordingly, which could be the reason why he is so underweight.
Wuss......
This is 'Wuss'. He was spotted on camera in a local garden looking like he had facial wounds plus one on the top of his head. This is a very large chap weighing nearly a kilo! I was lucky to get this photo as he is very uncooperative and refuses to uncurl most of the time which makes treating him rather difficult to say the least. He has a touch of ringworm on his face which is being treated as well.
Update: Wuss has now been released back into the garden where he was found, all wounds mended.
