End of week 2

Dusty and Phoenix have made great strides in their progress and we are proud to say, also gained good weight.  

We went to the West Ryde Vet this morning for a check up, everyone involved were very happy with their progress.  Dusty at his first weigh in was only 10.3kg's, today he was 13.7kg's.  Phoenix was 9.1kg's and today was 11.7kg's.  

There is still a good month ahead of recovery, weight gain, the all important vaccinations and desexing to come, but the meeting today was a positive one.

All their wonderful progress would not have been possible without the kindness, donations and love everyone has shown.  Iggy Rescue thank everyone who has helped thus far in their recovery.

Phoenix loves this corner of the garden in the morning. Its one of the first places that gets nice and warm on these chilly mornings.

Dusty no longer has all his ribs showing. There is still a lot of condition to gain, especially around his bottom bones, but we are getting there slowly.
Picture
Phoenix is also not showing all his ribs now.

Both Phoenix and Dusty like to come in and crawl under my sons cot while l am settling him for his afternoon sleep. Phoenix l think would be very happy to stay there most of the day... The only thing missing is a doona.

Off to the vet for check up.

This is the lovely Keith Farrell, the vet who has been monitoring the boys progress. The vet is not the boys favourite place, but they did very well.

Such a pretty boy. Phoenix heading home after the vet.

A treat for the boys after the vet. They both sit on command - especially when food is involved.
Below is a video of the boys playing with a toy.

Wow! How far they have come already.
Amazing what a little care & a lot of love can do.
Well done to the kind & generous carers who have donated their time & their home to help look after these little guys.
