BIQUETTE (PRONOUCED BEE-KATE)
Biquette is 5 years old Nubian goat,she is our miracle goat with 3 lives.
First rescued after giving birth
to twins on the coldest day of winter ,on a farm were we volunteering we found her in shock after the birth process, still,with
her head hanging down.She was very anorexic and dehydrated
and had an infection in her utter.She could not raise
her young; they got adopted at a sanctuary farm.
We took her under our special care and slowly nursed her back to health.A year later she got infected with a meningial worm from a deer,it started
to travel up the spinal column provoking her rear legs to become lame and if nothing is done goes up to the brain.It also affects the nerve endings which caused terrible itching,she was
biting herself down to raw bloody spots to relieve the itching.
We took her to Tufts university hospital where she
was diagnosed.The doctor was not too hopeful that
she would survived.
Again we fighted and nursed her back to health and she pulled through this terrible ordeal.
Though she still have a left hind
leg that stayed a little lame she is living a peaceful life on our sanctuary.
DUSK DUSK is a 3 year old rabbit.He lived at a farm with a twin brother together in the same cage (they had 25 rabbits, freezing cold
in winter in an old drafty barn).One day we found
dusk brother dead in the cage beside him.DUSK was
in bad shape with his rear end all impacted with feces and an ear that was raw and so badly infected with mites that we thought
he was going to loose his ear.We took him to our
vet ,and after proper care we brought hiom home to insure him good living conditions.He fully recovered and is now a gorgeous rabbit.he lives in a roomy pen along with a blind rabbit named PELLET.
