Yesterday we received a call asking for our help for Gossip. Sadly her owner had passed away at home and there was no one who could help Gossip.
Gossip was home alone with family members going into her, thankfully only for a day, especially in his heat.
Gossip was believed to be 10 years old, but from her documents available to us, she has actually just turned 13 years old.
We are incredibly grateful to a foster and transport family who could collect Gossip yesterday, spent a night settling her down and caring for her, before taking her onto her permeant foster home today. Because of the urgency a temporary bed for the night was needed so a plan could be formed.
Lots of late night calls and we’re pleased to say Gossip is now with her foster family where she will be assessed and have all the treatment, care and love she needs.
Gossip has been looked after, her original vet spoke highly of both Gossip and her owner.
We know that she has recently had a dental, she has also had some lumps and bumps operated on, which all appear to be run of the mill, basset lumps and bumps.
She does have an eye infection, which her owner had sought vet attention for and we have the drops passed onto us. As you can see her eyes were a bit messy when she arrived last night, but with a clean and drops they are looking so much better.
Gossip has been her owners shadow for years, and the turmoil of losing her, especially in the circumstances have upset Gossip and she has been very shy the last 24 hours. We are hoping with a lot of love and care, she will come out of her shell and accept the love being showered on her.
Gossip has her vet appointment booked for tomorrow morning, and then a visit to a groomer who the foster family know very well and look after their older hound too.
Gossip does have a little wish list, 2 new beds would be perfect, one for the lounge and one for the kitchen and then she can decide which room she is more comfortable in. It’s all baby steps and on Gossip’s terms at the moment. Amazon.co.uk
