Fergie (the brown and white boy) has just turned 7 years old, and Sully (the black and white boy) is just under 6 years old, recently joined us- they are the 4th and 5th basset from last weekend.
They have come into us after having spats in the home as well as change of circumstances with the family. The original plan was that they would need to be separated, as Fergie was being very bulshy and unpredictable. Their family has worked really hard with them over the last couple of months, and they are getting on so much better now; they also do rely on each other to some extent so we’ve decided, with the help and commitment from a wonderful foster family to see if they can stay together.
So far we haven’t seen any reason to separate them. They were very nervous when they arrived and a bit growly, but they are slowly warming to their foster family and hound siblings.
Both reportedly suffer with separation anxiety and are also guarding of high value treats, both of which will be worked on whilst they are in our care.
Sully was entire when he joined us, and has already been to the vet to have his big boy operation as well as some dental work. Sully did have a bit of a complication during surgery. His tonsils were very swollen and the vet struggled with the sedation tube. Swabs were taken and he came home with antibiotics to remove any infection. Blood work was completed before the surgery and nothing was flagged up there, so we are hopeful this is something and nothing. His bill of £1487.48 is below, which didn’t include the removal of the, erm…present he left behind the reception desk at the vets!
