Sadly, we have an update on little Peru. A volunteer found her dead this morning in her cage.
She came to us from a home that saved her after years of being severely neglected. Here is a bit more of her history, posted shortly after she was surrendered to us. She was at least 25 years old, wild-caught, and extremely plucked. We had her vetted right away and she had some kidney and liver issues. We treated her for a month and then found out she had kidney disease. We had been treating her ever since, changing her diet and medicating her on a daily basis.
We had hopes that she would find a permanent home for her retirement years, but that was not to be. At least we know that she got the best care we could give her for her last months she spent with us and, of course, here she was loved.

Lori,
I have read the sad news and it tears at my hear. you and your staff know that for those short weeks she lived with you, that she was in a truly loved atmosphere. You did all within your power to give her a better start, but it was Gods will to bring her home to even a more peaceful surrounding. Know you did make a difference in her world even if for a short time. She knew this was a safe place for her. keep up the great work.
