Dina
On Friday 2 June 2024, we made the very hard decision to release Dina from her suffering. We rescued her about two weeks before because she had a large infected lump on the side of her mouth. We took her for x-rays and couldn't see cancer but the infection was so big, it was obscuring it.

We had her on anti-inflammatory medications and antibiotics but after a few days it became clear that it was cancer. We started her on chemotherapy but there was no improvement.
She was clearly a traumatized soul as she screamed every time we touched her. She would often just face the back of the cage despite our efforts to soothe her. Given that she was 12 to 13 years old, the poor prognosis and her level of discomfort we did the right thing and released her from suffering. She had suffered enough in this lifetime.
She looked so sad all the time and we wanted so much for her to recover and experience love, kindness and a family of her own. We're sorry Dina that you didn't get your happy ending. Run free sweet girl.
DINA RIP
