Rupert the eleven year old Lurcher handed in to Hector’s yesterday spent the night at our Vets receiving Intravenous fluids as he was severely dehydrated. Blood tests have shown he has an infection and he has commenced on a course of antibiotics. The infection is possibly due to advanced dental disease as there is no other apparent cause.

Rupert will of course need extensive dental surgery, but he isn’t fit enough yet. He weighs just 15.4kgs, he should weigh around 25kgs Rupert has moved to an experienced Hector’s foster home today for some much needed TLC.

This gentle boy has a long road of recovery and we are sorry to have to once again ask for your help with donations.

A huge thank you to Miss Maggie’s Supper Box who have already generously donated to his care.
