Meet Minnie. Found as a stray, we don’t know her story or her age. One thing we do know is that she’s now safe in a loving foster home.
BTRC was contacted by a shelter about a blind and deaf senior who was in bad shape and needed to be seen by a vet immediately. Two masses were found – one inside her mouth and the other on her chest. A urine test showed that her protein levels were high, which could indicate kidney issues.
Minnie also has a stubborn ulcer and is scheduled for a debridement to encourage healing. The cone and halo she alternates between do not faze her, and she continues to sniff and explore her new surroundings with enthusiasm.
Since coming into care, Minnie’s abdomen is no longer distended, she’s gained weight, and her skin looks better. Pain meds have also improved her mobility, which is great because Minnie keeps busy with the many enrichment activities her foster mom provides.
While she waits for her upcoming vet appointments, Minnie is content to snooze in front of the fireplace, snuggle on her foster mom’s lap, and search for the treats hidden around the home. She readily accepts massages and has decided that a rocking chair is the best kind of chair.
Minnie is being fostered in Georgina, ON, and is not ready for adoption.
