    Little Chance survived the night. She is still acting like a rock refusing to move and snapping. She is scared. It’s been a good day of progress for her though… (1/7) 🧵

  2. #2

    She was safe in the medical container. She ate all her food and drank her water and rested. It’s probably the first time she has been indoors in her life (2/7)

  3. #3

    I spent an hour just using soft blankets to get her liking the touch. (3/7)

    Once I managed to get the cone on her it’s a lot safer for everybody. You can see the wounds here. We think dragged under a motorbike or a car. Somehow all her organs were missed (4/7)

  5. #5

    She was sedated a little as the cleaning was so deep and intense. She also now has a lot of pain meds. The good news is the wound is clean. This daily cleaning will continue for a few days before it gets stitched up (5/7)

    This was her last week. Out with the wounds and them getting eating inside her by maggots. She would have died by now had we not caught her (6/7)

  7. #7

    We’ve built her a little fort in the corner with the air con and left her alone. She just wants to decompress. She doesn’t fully understand but I can see the eyes changing ever so slightly. Things will be OK Chance (7/7)
