Yorkie sisters need our help

These two little Yorkie sisters were brought in because their owner has become seriously unwell.   Her illness has meant that she could not care for her pets.  They are the sweetest little dogs you could ever meet and so grateful for the immediate care we gave them.   Their faces are matted up so after a bath we cut most of the knots out.   Their nails were the next to get attention, some were badly overgrown and their hair had matted up in between their toes. It’s painful for dogs to walk when this happens.

These two little dollies are called Coco and Annie and both are fond of putting their tongue out at you!  It might be because they have no teeth – soft food only for these elderly ladies – we think they are around 15 years old.   When they were cleaned up, de-matted and had their feet and nails sorted you could see they felt better.   All is not well with Coco though, she has an infection around her bottom and a large sore area where she has been matted up.  She is responding to treatment though so hopefully all will be well eventually.

If you have family or neighbours who become ill and have pets, a check up on the animals as well as the people is good to do.   When illness strikes it’s sometimes hard to look after the animals, no matter how much they are loved.
