Beautiful Bruce was just a baby at only six months old when he came into our care through no fault of his own. Tragically he was a victim of over-breeding which created numerous painful joint issues for him, cherry eye and sometimes regurgitating food if eating too fast. Here's a Bruce update from his new foster parents!
“Reggie and Bruce are starting to become friends, although we try not to leave them alone for too long as they have a had a few disagreements (mainly due to Bruce trying to hump Reggie, unsuccessfully), but largely it’s been very amicable and they look for each other in the morning now, which is very sweet. Bruce is a lovely little thing, although he does have a feisty and rather spirited side to him. He’s starting to learn some house rules and manners and is just getting used to having a routine. I think it’s been a lot for him to take in and everything seems like a new experience so he’s learning all the time.
He’s slept beautifully, not making a sound at all at night and loves the canvas crate/basket he sleeps in. He’s eating well, we put him on a raw diet and he already looks like he’s gained a little bit of weight and he loves the food. He’s a little possessive of his food but again we’re trying to teach him some manners! We’ve also had no reflux issues at all. He’s also been on a daily walk with Reggie, only gentle and mainly on grass but I’ve already noticed that he seems stronger and a little more robust - he’s enjoyed being outside. Overall a positive week, lots of progress made and he’s enjoying all the cuddles and fuss. He feels part of the family already.”
We are overjoyed to hear Bruce is doing so well and making such huge progress!! We are continuing to raise money for a much-needed neurologist assessment for Bruce's painful joints. If you would like to make a contribution, or leave a message of support to spur us on, please visit his page at:
We love you RATS family. We couldn’t help these dear animals without your kindness and generosity! Thank you so much for helping us to make such a difference.
