SAINTS Rescue

Poncho is an Abyssinian guinea pig. Some genetic lines of Abyssinians are prone to structural eye defects, like the cataracts Poncho has. Surgery is not a viable option as guinea pigs are highly sensitive to general anesthesia. We take great strides to keep their home environment exactly the same to make things easier. Guinea pigs rely heavily on their other senses (smell, hearing and using their whiskers).
Luckily cataracts are not painful and Poncho lives a perfectly happy and comfortable life ❤️

When SAINTS received Charlie as a Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) transfer in January, we knew he had kidney, liver and cardiac issues. He's also got Cushing's disease, poor vision and hearing, bad teeth and is prone to pancreatitis with IBD. In short, he's a hot mess. He adores his Pomeranian friend Meah and doesn't wander far from her. Charlie isn't a fan of being handled much . He likes to putter in the yard in the sun and is definitely not looking forward to our inevitable rainy season. Dont worry, he has an array of clothing items to keep him warm and dry should he decide to brave the weather for a walk or some yard time 😉

Trevor saw our vet late last week as he was having increased respiratory effort. Turkeys, like all birds, have air sacs that are connected to their lungs. Birds don't have diaphragms, their lungs don't expand and contract. Instead, the air sacs push air through the lungs like a bellow. Because this system is so interconnected it is easy for rapid spread of infection. Staying on top of any breathing issues is part of healthy flock management. Trevor needed a visit to the vet to ensure we weren't looking at something more serious. Luckily some antibiotics should help Trevor get back to his bossy self 😁

Last Summer Surrey Animal Resource Centre sent us Ginger. Ginger is at least 15 years old and has a number of serious health issues. Among other things Ginger has arthritis, a heart condition called an AV block, and as you can probably tell, a healing ulcer in his right eye. Ginger spends most of his day soaking up the sun in the outdoor catio. Naps in the sun are one of his favourite activities! Ginger is not a surgical candidate for a pacemaker (the recommended treatment for an atrioventricular block) so we ensure his days are filled with happiness 😊

This is Muffin. Muffin has hyperthyroidism.
She tends to have a poor coat and mats easily. Hyperthyroidism means her body produces an excessive amount of thyroid hormones. These then overstimulate the glands responsible for hair and skin cell shedding, yet the cat lacks the stamina required to groom herself properly. Muffin also has arthritis and is not keen on being handled so it's a delicate balance keeping her coat fee of mats and her skin healthy.
She takes her oral medication like a champ!
