Hope, Help, Repeat
Our Facebook
We chatted to our vets on Friday - and sadly the news for Timmy was not great. It’s most likely that the lump on his backside is a cancerous tumour. His blood results indicate that it may have spread to other organs. Given the location of the lump it is inoperable without causing fecal incontinence. We could do a full body CT scan to determine spread but in discussion with his foster family (one of whom is a vet professor at Roseworthy teaching vet students) we have jointly decided not to undertake a CT. Timmy is also showing signs of Cushings and dementia. However, he is eating well and is already dearly loved by Foster Mum, Katrina (who has a very soft spot for poodles). We will repeat bloods in a couple of months to track where he might be at. Not what we expected when we agreed to take him but sometimes that’s what we get. I don’t know whether the owner knew and couldn’t or wouldn’t provide treatment and care - or whether they just had no idea - at this point - it doesn’t really matter. Timmy will be cared for as long as he has some quality of life. #hopespringseternal🐶 #welovefostercarers👨👩👧👦 #mylornanorpoodlepalace🏡🐩🐩 #timmy

Surprised and delighted
https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=MjVPR2DQye4Recently we were surprised when Destination Happiness (a lifestyle television show on Channel 9) came out to visit and film a segment for Happy Pets at Hope Springs.
We were even more surprised when Petstock presented us with a cheque for $15,000 for our Pay it Paw-ward Program – helping us to “Keep pets and people together”.
We are very grateful for Pet-Stocks support of local communities and small charities making a direct difference to the wellbeing of their local community. Click here to see the segment.
