No animal should suffer; that’s why we’ve chosen to raise funds for Mayflower Sanctuary in memory of Wednesday ❤️
Story….
Three weeks ago our little piggies tail wasn’t as curly and she began to limp. I thought I was acting too quick for something so small but we took her to the vets regardless. The plan was, intensive protein therapy and some rest for her knees; the alternative would be costly surgery. We agreed to the meds and also surgery if needed. Surgery would be a last resort and it would be manageable.
When we first considered getting a little dog, I immediately knew I’d have a soft spot for one that needed an extra hand. Wednesday was drawn to us and we accepted her regardless of possible blindness. We were willing to do anything it took to look after her.
There wasn’t any improvement so we returned to the vets this past Tuesday to see a joint/bone specialist. He checked her over and we expected him to suggest we booked a date for surgery, sooner rather than later.
He told us her spine was damaged due to a genetic condition and that by the time it had reached her legs and become visible, it had completely taken over her little body. He retracted surgery as an option stating her giddiness she is well know for, is actually pain! 💔
We’re in complete disbelief but our little doggy has to be euthanised. We feel awful that she evidenced her pain as love. It’s upsetting and seems unfair but we don’t have any other option. 😭😭😭
Despite her being a handful, to the point where she drove us mad; we formed some great relationships and created an army, just to manage her diva demands 😅😅
She has been so loving and loyal; even when in immense pain she has continued to be the sweetest companion for not only Jude, but her little friends; Emie and Theo too. We never imagined that we’d be without her so soon and we’re so shocked.
I feel terrible and at times to blame; no amount of money or surgery will save her now. 😞
Her vet doubled her up on pain meds and gave us one week to say our goodbyes. This has allowed us to make some arrangements for Jude and to squeeze in a few sofa days. Her last day with us will be next Saturday 💔
In memory of our little whirlwind, I will be posting a fundraiser for a local animal charity. If you are able to donate a small amount, this will provide us with some comfort knowing that we have helped other animals in a small way. I feel so angry, I want to channel my feelings into something positive.
Above all else, please let us know if you would like to visit her and spend your own time with her this coming week.
Thank you to everyone who has cared for her, loved her and supported us.
