Tinsell’s story

Tinsell was rescued and brought to us in Dec 2019.  She was in a very poorly state and we believed at the time she may have lost an eye. Her spines were sparse and she had no tummy fur. She was given fluids, wormed, fed and incubated 

but such was her condition that we fully expected her to slip away, comfortable at least and without pain.  However,  Tinsell had other ideas. Day by day under Judy’s care she became stronger and two months later with two functioning eyes, fur growing on her tummy her skin condition being treated daily  It soon became apparent that she is an old hog and in this instance she would not thrive if released into the wild – she will therefore spend her retirement safely with Judy and Alan.  

Tinsell had a good Summer in the Prickles in a Pickle safe garden until she passed away.  Her story as written by Judy is available to read on the Prickles in a Pickle Facebook Page.
