Prickles came in
weighing 354 grams late September 2008, he was really
dehydrated but fortunately he drank the rehydration
fluids himself, he was very thin, you could feel all his
ribs. He was put on a heat pad and left to settle down,
I gave him a light diet and more fluids, but on checking
him the next morning, I was sad to find he had died
during the night. He had had terrible diarrhoea and his
mouth and tongue were full of ulcers/blisters, he also
had a sore on his bottom lip. He must have drank or
eaten something which had poisoned him. It was
unfortunate that nothing else could be done. Thanks to
Mark finding him in Bewdley, and bringing him to us, at
leasthe died in
the warm and was comfortable.
