Tammy update

We introduced you to Tammy last week; here is that post. As the days have gone on, she has just gotten sweeter and sweeter.

She went to the vet last week, and diagnostics confirmed our suspicion of gout. For the rest of her life, she will need a small daily dose of cosequin (joint supplement) and metacam (pain medication).

She just loves to snuggle!
We've also provided her with a heated perch and made a few adjustments to her cage in order to make her feel more safe and comfortable.

Look at how she's using her foot to hold the hand of the volunteer who's holding her:Her status with us remains the same as the last time we posted. If we can find the right retirement home for her, she may be adopted out after she's stabilized a few more weeks. However, we will be more than happy to let her life out her days at the Center if the right home doesn't come along.

We just can't get over how she's maintained her wonderful demeanor despite everything she's been through. We're lucky to have her.
