APRIL'S GUINEA PIG OF THE MONTH--Bubbles!

So far we have raised 183.53 pounds or $284.23! We met our goal, but let's keep going!

MEET
BUBBLES
FROM UK RESCUE


Meet Bubbles who is around 2 years old. She came into the Rescue in poor condition along with a little sow who had a broken leg. Bubbles went blind not long after arrival, with cataracts.Thankfully she is not diabetic, she has a very bad heart murmur and urinary tract problems. Heart meds, Cystease and Antibiotics are costing around £40 per month. It is thought that she has non specific cystitis but kidney problems may be a factor in her constant wee-ing and drinking. No enlargement of the kidneys have been found to date but it is early days yet and this may show up at anytime. Bubbles is a feisty-wee girl who lost her partner recently and is disinclined to accept another piggy companion at the moment. We are working on this daily in the hope that she accepts another friend or two very soon. Meantime she lives next door to a handsome boar who very much wants to be friends, they are separated by  grids to help Bubbles become used to him. To date whenever she is given time with him and another sow she attacks instantly but this is getting better each time. I think this has a lot to do with her being blind.

OUR GOAL IS TO FUNDRAISE FOR FOUR MONTHS OF BUBBLES' CARE, or £120 ($245.42)!!
