Marlin – update

Marlin, has had blood tests which have come back okay for her age which is ten, BUT she has still not been able to shake off problems with her ears and is being treated with steroids and antibiotics.  Because of her ongoing ear problems and now a suspicious lump whose biopsy is inconclusive, we have to wait until the hospital is able to remove the lump once the Covid 19 lock down is over, we are putting this lovely Border Collie on hold until she is fully recovered.  We will contact everyone again once we have the all clear from her veterinary surgeon.

Instead of keeping her in kennels for a further unspecified time she is now settling into home life with one of our Trustees who is classed as a front line worker (animal care) and a regular fosterer of branch dogs.

She is a small border collie who is a little overweight and is unsure about some dogs she meets.  Marlin came to the branch to find a new family via one of our RSPCA inspectors as her previous owner is quite ill.

We are looking for a quieter home for Marlin, with a garden where she can play fetch and one where her new family will take her to new places and help her to enjoy life.
