Help Jumba and his recovery

  • Update xx

    **Jumba Update 🩷**

    We have another positive update on our brave boy.

    Yesterday Jumba had half of his stitches removed, and in just two days he'll have the rest taken out. He's healing really well, and we're so proud of how far he's come after everything he's been through.

    At this stage, it's looking more likely that Jumba will need medication for the rest of his life. While this wasn't the outcome we had hoped for, we're incredibly grateful that he's still here with us, happy, comfortable, and enjoying life. He's back to playing, soaking up all the cuddles, and watching the birds outside the window little things we'll never take for granted again.

    His recovery has been a long journey, and there are still ongoing costs as we continue to give him the care he needs. Every donation, kind message, and share has helped us get to this point, and we truly couldn't have done it without your support.

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing beside Jumba throughout his recovery. Your kindness has given him the chance to keep living the happy life he deserves. 🩷

    Jumba has reached another huge milestone in his recovery! He is now peeing on his own without needing his bladder expressed. The downside is that he still can't hold his bladder at all, so he's currently incontinent, but this is still a massive step in the right direction.He's still needing some help with pooping, and he's continuing all of his medications. We've started trialling one of his medications at twice a day instead of three times a day, so we're hoping he continues to do well with that change.

    I've also spoken with the vet, and once all of Jumba's treatment and ongoing care has been paid for, any remaining donations will be gifted directly to the clinic to help other animals needing emergency care whose families may be struggling. It felt like the best way to give back after everything they've done for Jumba.

    Thank you all so much for continuing to follow his journey and for all the love, support, donations, and kind messages. Every milestone he reaches is because he was given the chance to fight, and we're so grateful for everyone who has been part of that. We still have a little way to go, but he's making us proud every single day. 🩶

    Hi all

    Small update on jumba

    He has started acupuncture to help regain his nerve function, he has also started new medication and had a increase in dosage of his current medication he’s currently managed to urinate on his own two times but he is still struggling

    He may need to be manually expressed for his whole life we unfortunately just don’t know yet but we are hoping that he continues to improve and this isn’t needed, we are still doing daily vet visits twice a day and it has proven to be a lot but it is all worth it in the end, he is still happy trying to play and talk a lot we are very proud of him

    Thank you for the ongoing support 🩷

    Jumba has officially urinated on his own!

    He will still need his daily vet visits, as he's not quite able to empty his bladder completely by himself yet, but this is a huge step forward in his recovery.

    Thank you all so much for your ongoing support during this time. Jumba genuinely wouldn't be here without the kindness and generosity of everyone who has helped, along with the incredible team at the Animal & Bird Hospital.

    We are so grateful for every donation, share, message, and well wish. ❤️

    Hey all

    Jumba is doing much better!

    He is still going back to the vet every morning and night as he is still not urinating on his own yet

    We are trialing another medication ontop of what he’s on in hopes he can regain the nerve function better

    The vet seems to be our second home right now but they have been extremely lovely and patient with his recovery as it will be a while before he is fully recovered

    Thank you again for all of the support 🩷🩷

    Hi all

    Jumba is back at the vet

    He managed to take his cone off and rip his stitches sometime between 1am-4am

    I had been waking to check on him but unfortunately slept 4 hours instead of 2 so he had the extra time to do so

    He is a strong boy and is still doing so well

    And despite having opened his stitches he was still extremely happy on the ride to the vet he’s shocking everyone with how well he is recovering but he isn’t giving up and he is continuing to heal

    Jumba is finally home 🩶

    He is now home with daily vet visits, morning and night, to have his bladder expressed. He’s on quite a lot of medication and feeling very drowsy, but despite everything he is still acting like his usual sweet self.

    He’s eating and drinking well and getting so many cuddles now that he’s back where he belongs.

    Jumba still has a long road ahead of him, but so far things are going well, and we’re hoping his recovery continues in the right direction.

    Thank you all so much for your ongoing support, kindness, donations, and love for Jumba. We truly couldn’t be more grateful 🐾🩶
