well little patch is back from the vets.......they also found that he had been bitten by a snake as well as everything else.....poor little chap
they said if we hadn't fed and watered him when we did.....that he most certainly would have died
we have just been to see him.....he is sleeping in the shade of someones garden..recovering from his op... he is tic and flea free...although still filthy dirty...the house is empty.....and he has just drank loads of water again.....and eaten some food....
he looks really sorry for himself and is a bit more timid now after being put into a basket, being handled as much as he has been and then having his bits chopped off
....but he soon got used to us again and let us feed and water him
will keep checking on him every few hours and feeding and watering him to help his recovery speed up..but looks now as if he will live
1 life down little Patch ..hopefully 8 more to go
