Cookie's Story

Meet Cookie, a beautiful white hen who has shown remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. Her journey began when we noticed she was consistently developing a "poopy bum," despite appearing healthy in every other way. We found ourselves regularly cleaning her and trimming her bum feathers to keep her comfortable.

 

Concerned about her condition, we took Cookie to the vet for a thorough examination. The diagnosis revealed a tumor that was obstructing her ability to poop normally, causing her persistent cleanliness issues. Despite this challenging news, Cookie's vibrant spirit and overall well-being inspired us to pursue a course of action that would allow her to maintain her quality of life.

 

Rather than moving Cookie indoors, as we typically do with our unwell residents, we made the decision to let her continue her free-ranging lifestyle. We implemented a dedicated care routine, cleaning her bottom twice daily and applying necessary treatments. Over the course of two weeks, we observed a remarkable change - the skin between the tumor and her body began to shrivel, and eventually, the tumor fell off on its own!

 

While Cookie isn't entirely clear of cancer, she's currently able to function without the previous obstructions. She continues to free-range, enjoying life to the fullest. We remain vigilant, monitoring her closely and understanding that there's a possibility of recurrence. However, until that day comes - if it does - Cookie is living her best life here at the sanctuary.

 

Cookie's story is a testament to the power of attentive care and the resilience of these remarkable girls. Your support helps us provide this level of dedicated care to Cookie and all our sanctuary residents. By sponsoring Cookie, you're not just helping one hen - you're contributing to a philosophy of compassionate, individualised care for every animal in our charge.
