Baby Eileen is doing so well! This medication really seems to he making a huge difference, already! 🥹

Meet baby Eileen ❤️

Baby Eileen came to Sisu late last night, in critical condition, from a new cruelty case investigation. We can't share all the details just yet - but just know that at one week old, Eileen has already survived unimaginable horrors. Her sibling died, and her mother was sold... she was all alone and arrived here on the brink of death.

Eileen was being fed the wrong milk, and it has destroyed her digestive system in just a few shorts days. Baby Eileen is just 4.5 pounds and still has her umbilical cord, but she is a fighter! This morning, Eileen saw the emergency vet, and although she has severe pneumonia and coccidiosis, we think she can pull through and make a full recovery. Today, she literally is standing on her own and walking! 🥹🙌 #comeoneileen ❤️

Baby Eileen got medication last night when she arrived, and she got new medication today at the vet. If we do not see a big improvement in the next two days, she will be heading in for hospitalization at UGA.

This intake was completely unexpected and unplanned, but Eileen needed us immediately. If you'd like to donate towards her emergency visit, formula, onesies, or diapers - please donate below or through any of the links in our bio!

Every pig here at Sisu has an incredible rescue story, and seeing them all cuddled up together, sleeping in late - without a single care in the world - just fills my heart. I hope this beautiful cuddle puddle brings you the same great joy. #fortheloveofpigs #animalrescue #animalsanctuary #farmsanctuary #sisurefuge

"The fact that we yearn for escaped animals to live speaks volumes about how we value their lives once they have been separated from the anonymous group. We then acknowledge that they are individuals with their own personalities and a clear desire to live. We recognize that there is something they are trying to escape from, that they are fearful, and in a situation they do not want to be in. [...] We view these animals as underdogs, heroes overcoming adversity, and yet that adversity they are trying to overcome is us." - quote @earthlinged

🚨 Urgent! North Carolina 🚨
$560 in pledges, currently, for transport a new sanctuary. Sisu will cover his health cert and initial exam. His "deadline" is fast approaching. 🥺 Please share and tag any reputable sanctuaries on the East Coast who can help this little one! He is a young Yorkshire and will be very large. He needs an established rescue.

Feel free to pledge a donation below!

Pledging is when you promise to donate after an animal has been rescued. You do not send us any money, but it is a promise that you will help whoever does take him in. We will not be involved in the screening process, however- we do respectfully ask for a vegan home.

Lester the Death Hawk 🦅 says thank you to Lorre for his little tuxedo! ❤️

Lester came to us from a hoarding case, last fall. He is a funny little character with loads of personality and sass. Lester can't fly. He hates people... he also hates other birds. He tries to fight the chickens constantly, but he loves his little swing, and he enjoys looking at himself in the mirror.

Have you ever been greeted by a dinopig?! 😆 Oz has some of the best HELLOS! Most people call them "hot pants" and it's a very special honor for a human!

Huge thank you to Alyssa Henfer @ witnnews for covering Mia's story and getting this horrific abuse out into the public sphere. If you heard at the end - Lenoir County will pursue FELONY charges for Mia's death. This is huge for pigs, and while it doesn't bring back Mia, but it may deter future neglect and abuse in the county. Especially when people know that they will be charged as necessary. Thank you Tabatha and Eileen at Lenoir SPCA for fighting for every animal in need of protection.

We are offering a $1,000 cash reward for information leading to Mia and Cali's previous owner - to ensure a welfare check for any remaining animals. These types of cases have not slowed down, and they only seem to becoming more frequent and more horrendous. We have already been alerted to another hoarding case up north and are working on this behind the scenes. Thanks for you support and your love for Mia. 🩷🙏 #lenoircounty #kinstonnc #easternnorthcarolina #enc #justiceformia

Building trust with a spicy babe... 🥹
Do you see how she just melts at 1:20? 😭

Today was a little rough for this sweet girl, but we are already seeing some slight skin improvements with oral antibiotics. The redness is already going down and she is scratching significantly less.

Soon, we can soothe her skin topically, but that takes a level of trust that she's not quite ready for. Can't blame her for that, so we have to respect her boundaries right now, and make sure she feels comfortable and safe with us. She has a vet appointment later this week, and we will still be moving forward with transferring her to a university hospital. Joseph and I are both sick with a weird stomach bug, so the trip will just be a few more days.

Carolina said spicy girl sat at the gate and cried quite a bit this morning, and we have no doubt that she is still looking and calling for her Mia. I doubt they've ever been separated before, and we are already learning a lot from observing her behavior. Things that are very telling and heartbreaking. It's very apparent that's she's never experienced human kindness and (based on her bathroom habits) we doubt she has had access to the outdoors for quite some time. She is very, very cautious...

Slow and steady is the only way to move forward.

We received Mia's preliminary autopsy reports this afternoon, and it was pretty heavy news... if we are feeling a little bit better, we will try to make a video tomorrow, and share the findings with you all. I'm going to post on Patreon tonight with a quick update as well. Thank you all for your love and support. ❤️🙏🐽

$We've gotten a ton of questions on how we do pedicures without a lift! Heres a few tips for the big kids, and we will make a video next round of little pig flips we do for pot-bellied pigs. Every time you interact with your pig residents, touch their feet! Even if it's just briefly. Starting when they are young is even better, but always respect their boundaries. Getting them in the zen zone with a tummy rub is your best opportunity to free a hand to touch their hooves. You're looking for cracks and chips in the hoof (nail) and you will then feel the bottom of their pad with your hand. It should be relatively smooth, with no major tears or injuries. You will know if there's an infection from the smell, so no need to always have a visual on the bottoms! Start with nippers, and trim extremely cautiously. If there are tears, hoof conditioners are available. If there are cracks, hoof hardeners are also available that you can paint on. *Hoof conditioner and nippers will be posted in highlights.* If you can only trim the hooves and will not be able to dremel or buff, that's still great progress. Excessively long hooves can lead to a host of problems including uneven joint wear, arthritis, lameness, infection, and stress fractures. By cutting down length, you can help to maintain mobility and comfort... and there are a lot of tricks you can implement to cut back of the required maintenance. Allowing the pigs to have daily access to concrete pads will help them maintain their hoof shape. We will be pouring concrete pads at all of our water stations and also spreading some around the property at feeding stations. You can also pour concrete in front of their doorways, so there is that guaranteed contact every morning and night. These tips are only for those who are keen on observing behavioral changes in animals and who are interacting with large pigs on a daily basis. Oh yeah, and maybe - don't wear crocs. That's really stupid of me. A pig stepping on your foot will break bones. 😆 created by panglossblue with Judy Garland's Get Happy$
