Update on Bertie and Daisy
Sorry for our lack of updates on Bertie and Daisy.
They both had their vet check just before Christmas.
Bertie was suffering badly from a very nasty ear infection. He was initially started off with some drops and also steroids. It was very painful for him and he wasn't a fan of his ears being touched.
Bertie also has some teeth that needs to be looked at.
Shortly after Bertie started his medication he became very poorly with suspected bloat .A phone call with the vet and they were on standby to get Bertie into the vets. His wonderful foster family got him into the vets to be checked over. Thankfully the vet deemed there was no bloat, his stomach and heart were fine and all they could pin point was the medication Bertie was taking for his ears made him incredibly poorly. That and the fact that his ear infection was probably effecting his balance and making him very discombobulated and sick.
Bertie continued to suffer badly with his ears so early in the new year he was back at the vets to be knocked out so they could take a swab and flush his ears out. They were so painful no one could get near him even with sedation so we decided this was the best plan of action for him. Once the bacteria was pinpointed further drops, steroids and pain medication was prescribed.
His ears are no well on the way to recovery.
Daisy, apart from needing to lose a couple of KG's and having cherry eye as we suspected was deemed to be in good health.
Daisy loves her walks although is a bit of a steam train but is learnings some commands. She loves meeting people and their dogs. Her absolute favourite however is a sofa snuggle with any human going.
Daisy is NOT a fan of fireworks and spent New Years Even snuggled under the table on the nearest human's feet.
They are both in foster together with a pair of Beagles, who they love playing and walking with.
All in all they are both doing really well and continue to be assessed.

They never ever leave a Basset behind always do everything in their power to get the hounds to the right fosters and forever homes in a word they are "AMAZING".
Great work, no hound gets left behind. A true sentiment that is the embodiment of what this organisation is about. Great work team.
They do a good job of saving these hounds and finding special homes for life. They also work hard to raise money to pay for any vet bills.
They do outstanding work with the hounds & always put them first, They match hounds with their perfect parents & when they need vet treatment they get it done, these people are Amazing, could not recommend them enough
Thank you for sending my recent purchases from your shop. Very efficient and wonderful quality merchandise, particularly the canvas/hessian bags and the t-shirts
We have the privilege of adopting Dylan. The whole process was seamless and very reassuring that they cover all bases, both in relation to vetting us and also in the assessment of the hound
