James
James was found abandoned in Coleraine, Northern Ireland. When we rescued James, he had painfully long, twisted and cracked hooves which urgently needed specialist treatment from our farrier. During his stay at our holding base in County Tyrone, James made a steady improvement and struck up friendships with seven other donkeys. James and his seven friends have now arrived at our headquarters in Sidmouth, Devon where they will be guaranteed a safe and happy future. Sadly, we've just discovered that poor James has liver problems. Liver lesions are quite common in donkeys but clinical signs are not usually seen until a large percentage of the organ is affected. Our caring veterinary team is doing everything possible to make him feel more comfortable and we hope he'll pull through. Laurel and Hardy Laurel and Hardy were rescued from years of neglect. They were severely malnourished and in great discomfort with painfully long feet and matted, lice-infested coats. They were brought to our holding base in Buxton, Derbyshire where they were nursed back to health with the tireless help of our grooms, vets, farrier and dentist. They now live at our headquarters in Devon where they are guaranteed a safe and happy future. |
