Beth has gained a little weight in the last week and has now been released into foster care. Despite the difficulties she has with eating, she is learning to adapt. She is on a special diet of high calorie food. Beth will have to return to the vet for weekly checks on her progress but we are hopeful that she will continue to improve. We expect her final vet bill to reach a four figure sum but we think she's worth it. A huge thank you from us and Beth to all who have donated to her cause.

Due to the difficulty Beth has in eating, she is losing even more weight. She is now under two kilos and that is dangerously low. As well as her jaw being wired, she has nerve damage to her mouth/tongue area. Beth cannot eat enough to sustain her and she is very unhappy at being fed through a tube or syringe. The vet has taken Beth home with her and will keep her there for the next week or so see if that encourages her to eat more, but if she continues to lose weight we will have no other option than to agree to her being put out of her misery.

Beth is still in her cage at the vet, and not looking very happy about it either! Despite how she looks in the photo, they say she is doing well. With her jaw wired and a very deep wound on her tongue, she is still having problems eating and has lost a lot of weight due to the time between the accident and when she was found and this is a concern. We are keen to get her into a home environment where she can continue the recovery process, but vets say she'll have to stay in for at least another week which is longer than we have budgeted for.
