Canterbury Tails Animal Rescue

Gordon’s recovery has had a setback. His surgical wound has reopened, and I took him back yesterday to the vet for assessment.

There’s concern that he may have abnormal skin growth, which could be contributing to the wound reopening and may also explain the horn-like growths he developed earlier in the year.

We were given the difficult choice to either let him go or try to get the infection under control and see how he responds. For now, we’ve chosen to proceed with treatment and close monitoring, with Gordon’s comfort and wellbeing as the priority.

Thank you for the kindness and support that allows us to respond quickly when our animals need extra care. We’ll keep you updated. 🌸 Here is a photo of him just 2 weeks ago after his stitches came out. Even with this setback, he’s still our happy, crowing boy.
