It’s raining Hounds this week! Another sad hound to join this week and take the number of hounds in our family to 710.
Please welcome 10 year old Abigail into the family. She arrived today and is under assessment, any enquiries regarding adoption will go unanswered.
We heard of Abigail being advertised for sale for a very small amount, her family agreed to surrender her to us instead to ensure she was safe and got all the care she needs.
We have been told that Abigail suffers with epilepsy, she is showing signs of “wobbles” and “flinches” which could indicate Lafora. Either way, tests and possible medication will be required.
We are also concerned about her eyes, as you can see from the photos, her eyes are quite bulgy (is that even a word?)
Abigail has a vet appointment tomorrow where she will have a full check up, her eyes and “wobbles” will be discussed.
Very little is known about this lovely girl; we do know that she has had some litters and in addition to the above her teeth are a bit yuk, which is resulting in her being even more slobbery than your standard Basset!
She is settling into foster well, she has a pack of bassets to welcome her, and she’s more than happy to put herself to bed in one of their crates!
We have a little wish list for Abigail below. Anything donated will stay with her throughout foster to her forever home, the bandanas are to try to keep her dry and her fur/skin healthy where she is dribbling a lot
Abigail will more than likely require tests on her eyes, and possibly a Lafora test, as well as spaying so if you would like to donate to Abigail’s care the link to do so is also below.

Thank you so much for your continued support. Thank you to Abigail’s foster family who collected her today at short notice.
