The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary (for guinea pigs with extra needs)

The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary (for guinea pigs with extra needs) A specialist sanctuary supporting guinea pigs with extra needs - primarily dental. Registered Charity Debbie Postles - Director. Emma-Jane Hartley - Director.

Andrew Hartley - Trustee. Catherine Wholey - Trustee. Emma Gordon - Trustee. Jennifer Cox - Trustee. Steve Turner - Trustee/Charity Treasurer. The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary enables guinea pigs who have ongoing medical issues to live a normal, happy life, whilst they receive the veterinary care they need. The Sanctuary specialises in the management of dental issues and the results achieved have

been amazing! All veterinary treatment is carried out by Simon and Kim Maddock of the Cat and Rabbit Care Clinic, Northampton. However, to enable this service to be offered to even more piggies with extra needs, funds need to be raised. Places at the Sanctuary can be offered on a short term, long term or permanent basis and the programme of supportive care is individually tailored to each piggy's needs.

Today neutered boar, Willow, met Berry and Orla! They’ve spent the day together in the run in the garden and seem fairly settled now.
Hopefully now their relationship will grow and grow!

Some good news re Shelly! It looks like the increased dose of Thyronorm is finally getting her thyroid levels back to normal, as she’s slowly increasing her weight day by day! 😊

After feeling so much more hopeful that we’d got Shelly’s thyroid level under control, she suddenly started to drop weight again, and whilst her excessive thirst wasn’t quite as bad as it had previously been, she had started to drink more again. Yesterday she went to see uncle Simon for another blood test! Her thyroid, whilst not back in normal range, is now around 60, whereas it was over 100 before she started on medication!

Her Thyronorm dose has now been increased to the 2.5mg dose, twice a day. I’ll be monitoring her carefully, as we don’t want her level to go too far the other way, making her hypothyroid. Hopefully we can get her onto an appropriate dose, that will keep her stable and hopefully her weight will increase! ❤️
