Charles Dickens said “A loving heart is the truest wisdom” If that’s true Tashy and Kitty are two of the wisest animals I have ever met Kitty was brought to our sterilisation clinic after being attacked by a dog , he had an abscess on his back and is paralysed. He does have rear leg reflexes but we think his bladder may be damaged. He is on treatment and our standard 72 hour assessment for paralysis ![]() Tashy is a puppy someone dumped in the road who was then struck by a car and her leg is broken , she has had surgery and a temporary pin placed by another vet but she was very dull and depressed and came to us for post op care ![]() Kitty and Tashy adore each others company , The 2nd morning Kitty was here I found Tashy had got out of her bed and was laying next to Kitty’s crate and Kitty was pressed against the bars purring. I decided to take them into the garden together ( the day before I had been taking them out separately ) and the results where amazing. Tashy who had been very withdrawn since her op was suddenly animated and Kitty was purring and rolling in the sun. They were joined by a visiting local pup Mo who came in for a bath but they only had eyes for each other ![]() ![]() ![]() Kitty’s long-term prognosis was not hopeful due to his bladder issues , but after 24 hours with Tashy he was able to produce some urine on his own ( rather than me emptying his bladder for him ) he still has a long way to go ( they both do ) but both have made huge improvements since they met ![]() Sam Sri Lanka January 2013 |

What a really lovely story to start the day Sam. How wonderful that two young, damaged animals are finding company and hope with each other. I do hope they will both continue to improve and enjoy each other's company

Tashys required a 2nd operation so we have transferred her to private hospital 2 hours away from here to give her every chance to save her leg http://www.justgiving.com/DogstarsTashy Poor Kitty is lost with out her and has taken to sitting on my foot , his legs are improving a little each day but his bladder function is not improving on top of that we have had reports today that dogs are being rounded up and culled in the capital ( its against the law but it happens ) Bit of a depressing day here really |

How dreadfully sad for you. It is pay day next week, I will send something over for Tashy's operation and live in hope that Kitty improves once she is back
