Title: Will someone give me a home when I'm better?
Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on October 13, 2007, 23:48:45 PM
This gorgeous sweetie is called Freddie  :Luv:  :Luv:  He is 10 plus years young and has been living as a stray for god knows how long  :'(  :'(  A lady has been trying to catch him for months and thank god, she finally got him.  He is in really poor condition, was running a temp, full of cat flu, full of fleas and has terrible broken and cracked teeth  :'(  The good news is he's eating well, is now on antibiotics, has been flead and wormed and will be going in for a dental as soon as he's up to it.  He was a little grump when I first picked him up but within a day he is just  :Luv:  :Luv:  :Luv:   He's already feeling better in himself, is eating brilliantly and has started to take a pride in his appearance god love him.  As soon as he's okay and had his teeth sorted etc etc, he will be looking for a home, he is such a babe and I'm sooooo pleased the lady caught him, I doubt he would have survived the winter in the condition he is in  :'(

When you see him, he's one that makes you want to cry  :'(  His coat is in terrible condition and he's got oil patches on his back where he's been sleeping under the cars.  Sean didn't really want to put an age on him but said he is minimum 10 but could be a lot older.  His teeth are so bad and I'm surprised he's eating as well as he is but I'm glad that he is.  He seems to have totally settled down and is in his element having a comfy bed, a constant supply of food and some tlc  :Luv:  :Luv:

Has he got "one eye looking at you, the other looking for you"? or is it just the photo?

Has he got "one eye looking at you, the other looking for you"? or is it just the photo?

He does have a problem with one of his eyes, Sean said it's down to infection but I think he can see okay out of it.  He has decided he hates having his tablets and will growl for England  :evillaugh:  He's not shown any agression, I think he's just all noise but that's to be expected if he is feeling pretty low in himself.

The gorgeous Freddie is doing really well, he's eating like a trouper and lets me know when he wants his food topping up  :Luv:  :Luv:  He seems very chilled out and likes the idea of having his own comfy bed to sleep in and a constant supply of food.  He'll be back in the vets next week for a check up and then we can sort an appointment out to get his teeth sorted and Sean's suggested having an FIV test on him as well.  He's stopped sneezing now and seems alot brighter in himself, I'm sure with some tlc he'll be a little purr monster  :Luv:

I've had to take poor Freddie back to see Uncle Sean this morning.  He's been eating well and he seems a lot better in himself but last night he had loads of green gunge oozing from his mouth  :sick:  :sick:  His mouth is so infected bless him so he's had a jab and he's back on antibiotics and is now booked in on Friday to have his teeth done.  Sean said there's a good chance all will have to be removed but if any are viable, then he will leave them.  Poor little man, I hope he'll be okay  :'(

Freddie was taken to the vets earlier in readiness for his op in the morning.  I'm sure he'll be fine, he'll be pre blood tested beforehand because of his age and he's also being FIV tested as well.  Keep your fingers crossed everything goes well for this little man, he wasn't at all bothered in the vets, I think as long as he's got a comfy bed, he's quite happy  :Luv:  :Luv:

Freddie wasn't too happy last night and didn't eat anything til early hours.  He's got a lot of gunge coming from his mouth this morning so he'll be going back to the vets later for them to check him.  He did end up eating a full tin of a/d but I think he's now in some pain  :'(  :'(

Poor Freddie  :(. I know Clapton was uncomfortable for about a week after his dental - I don't remember any gunge though  :sick:

Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on October 29, 2007, 23:45:30 PM
Freddie went to the vets earlier and he's had an antibiotic jab and a painkiller, he's also got to stay on the Antirobe for a few days.  Trevor said part of the problem is to do with him having cat flu, he is all bunged up again and he said there is still infection in his mouth that needs to clear up but with his snottyness, this is also adding to the gunge problems in his mouth  :sick:  :sick:  He's had a little to eat this evening but hopefully tomorrow he'll feel much better in himself.

I forgot to say, his FIV results were in today and he's Negative  :yes:  I'm so pleased as it's one less thing to worry about and generally his health is pretty good or it will be once he gets over his flu and his gums have healed.

Post by: pappilon on March 23, 2008, 00:01:11 AM
I was told by DD that Freddie had to be PTS last week.  :(
I fall in love with Freddie when i saw his picture here ,i couldnt have Freddie with me because of Phoebe but i did love him very much, last week he started getting worse and after being in the vets for few days his kidneys packed up and DD said they decided it was the kindest thing to let him go, so i thought i post this sad news on behalf of Dawn . :hug: Sadly he never got well enough for some one to give him his own home but
i know Dawn gave him all the love and care he deserved.

 :RIP: Sweet heart. :'( :'(

Oh no.... poor Freddie... :'(   Hope he has gotten to the bridge by now, healthy and happy again.  I am sure he will be surrounded with plenty of nice friends up there, but I am glad he was able to take some nice memories of this life, thanks to Dawn and kind people he met in his late days.

R.I.P. Sweet Freddie, you will be remembered, loved and missed by us always!!
