Rufus has sore feet

This is what his feet were like when he first came in.   They are looking a lot better now.  The blacksmith has been coming to trim them a little bit at a time and it’s gradually getting them back in to shape.

The problem is that, after so many years of confinement, his legs have to adjust to the new shape and to walking again.  It’s a slow process but he wants to walk and we’re massaging his legs every day which helps his circulation.    We let Rufus out to have a potter round in the yard and then he can go just as far as he wants before it’s back to the soft bedding in his stable.   His feet are tender so we’re going to make him some boots!

Please help Rufus if you can, even a small amount will make a big difference – check our appeal for him at Fundrazr.com – Rufus – Pet Samaritans – you can click on the page on this website to take you there.  Many thanks
