Rupert - Rip 25 August 2016

[worried val of york]

My little hero Rupert has battled skin infection. UTI, and recovered after an operation on a Trichofolliculoma since I adopted him from BARC in 2013.
Then he was diagnosed with severe arthritis earlier this year. He lost the use of his back legs but he bravely soldiered on. However on 24 August it was an uncomfortably hot day here in York. It obviously effected Rupert in his compromised state of health. I took him to the vet on 25 August and we agreed that the kindest action would be to put Rupert to sleep. He was about 7 years old.


I miss his cheeky little face and demanding character. But I know he is in a happier place meeting up over The Rainbow Bridge with his former cage pals Maxwell and Badger and no longer in any pain.

Huge hugs to you Val, he had a great life with you and was so very loved and cared for and that is all we can ever do for our loved ones. It is always hard to help them on their way to the bridge but a choice we made with the love we have for them at the front of our minds. Lots of love to you x x
