Dear Friends,

Freya now has her oxygen and tent and responding well. Thank goodness! This was the vital medicine and equipment she needed and wouldn't be possible without all our sanctuary friends' support. Freya is getting better which is fantastic and means the world to us. Here's a little photo of her exploring the camera - do you think she likes it?!
Much love xxxxx

Dear Sanctuary Friends

An update on the lamb babies! Freya is still stable, the sanctuary is currently raising funds on Facebook for her oxygen equipment. However, Gretel is doing absolutely great. Bringing her mum has really helped her find her mojo for life again. Her mum also has found purpose and happiness in having her baby with her and is eating again. Here they are, a beautiful photo of Gretel very happy to be nursing from her mummy.

Without our Teamers, all this wouldn't be possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being our Sanctuary Friends xxx

Dear Sanctuary Friends

Freya the lamb is stable we're happy to report but sadly still fragile. The next step to getting on her road to full recovery is oxygen therapy. Unfortunately the vets have only the equipment suitable for cats, which she is too big to use. Therefore the sanctuary are fundraising to buy her the equipment she needs to get this treatment.

For the time being, Freya's having regular steam room treatments.

Thank you to all who support the sanctuary, as all the money raised helps to go towards vital treatments like this. If you know of anyone who would be interested in also joining, please spread the word. Thank you xxx

Hi Beautiful Sanctuary Friends,

The horses have had a lovely groom and bum scratch, curtesy of Lilly who bobbed in to help whilst on holiday. Neptune found it extremely relaxing (see pic below) - must be a Spa theme going on this week at the Sanctuary! Whatever it is, everyone is certainly enjoying it!

Sadly Jerome has had to go to vets today with Freya, one of the lambs, who's chesty and may need more support than her antibiotics. Just awaiting a plan and an update. Come on Freya, pull through this infection please!!!

Dear Sanctuary Friends,

The two mums of the lambs are doing well, they're beginning to eat again and have been introduced back to their babies, Gretel and Freya. Both lambs seem very happy and are responding well to having their mums back, they still are recovering so are visiting mums in the day, then staying in our home for the warmth the remainder of the time. We are very hopeful that their recovery will build day on day, as their bond re-grows and strengthens.

Gabriel, another lamb, enjoyed having a bath after having been covered in poo, kindly by one of his siblings. He just sat down in the sink and thoroughly enjoyed his wash. Here's a picture of him enjoying his bath.

Thank you so much for making this possible. This is your endeavour by supporting us, as well as ours, without you these lambs and mums would not know the life they are now beginning to experience.

Thank you, here's Gabriel's spa day. xxxx

Dear Sanctuary Friends,

The mums have now arrived and had a safe and secure night resting from the travel. The drive to collect the mums was a very long one and took all day and into the night to bring them home safely. Luckily we had a volunteer Sanctuary sitter who helped give us peace of mind that the Sanctuary would be ok whilst we were gone.

The mothers are Gretel's mum and Freya's mum. Freya is a little poorly and still receiving antibiotics and Gretel as you know is quite poorly, so both are keeping in the warm with visits to the barn to be with their mums. Today they were re-united with their mums again, we have to be careful and ensure that all of them will be healthy and hope that their bonds will be re-ignited. Here's the first greet and kiss today from Gretel to mum, Abigail. We've milked both mums and the lambs have had their mother's milk. Wonderfully Gretel took in over 200mls, which is a huge success as she's not been feeding well at all.

Fingers crossed that all will be well and both mothers and babies now benefit and thrive, now that they are here at the sanctuary.

As always, without you this would not be possible. So on behalf of all the living beings here a huge thank you.

Dear Big V Sanctuary friends,

Just an update on the lambs, all are doing generally good, although on antibiotics, but responding well. Gretel remains more on the worrying side. She's refusing to eat so being syringe fed, and although her strength and energy levels have risen, she remains very sad and withdrawn from life. The farmer where she originally came from has said her mum can come here to be with her along with another mum who's very sad and giving up from the parting of her lamb. Fingers crossed reuniting mother and babies, and giving the lambs some surrogacy support will aid all of them on their road to recovery.

Picture of Iris below who's the smallest but doing incredibly well.

A very big sloppy kiss from Rupert as a massive thank you to all you wonderful Teamers who support us! Without you I don't know what we'd do. Your support is very much appreciated and cannot tell you how amazing you are. From all of us two legged and four legged at the sanctuary, a massive, massive thank you!

Good day to our Teamers,
This is Gretel, one of the lambs saved from slaughter. She's fighting pneumonia and diarrhoea, but compared to the response in the others with pneumonia is struggling more. She's refusing to drink, so we are syringe feeding her presently and awaiting the vet to come today to see what other options we can try on top of her current medications and herbal supplements. She is still passing urine and poo so fingers crossed. Perhaps it's just grief of the loss of her mother, she's so quiet and reserved. She does take comfort in cuddles and being held, so we are showering her with love. Fingers crossed the vet will have some more ideas and we can help her to pull through this. Without you, we couldn't do things like this for Gretel. Thank you from us all and we will update you again on Gretel very soon.

It's busy times here at the sanctuary, feeding, changing nappies, making up feeds, making up and issuing medication, keeping an eye on all the little ones as well as normal sanctuary duties for over 150 other animals taking refuge here. This is Winifred, one of the little lambs recently rescued from death. Sadly she's a broken leg, but that isn't stopping her now she's in cast. She's learning well to feed and walk with her cast and is such a lovely bonnie little lamb who has already created a lovely bond with our daughter. Thank you for your support as every one of you is helping to make stories like Winifred's a reality.

An update for our wonderful Teamers on the lambs, after lots of TLC, love, medication and veterinary intervention the lambs are beginning to start tottering around. Winifred has worked out how to walk with her cast on her broken leg, Freya is still sadly critical, Gabriel remains struggling with diarrhoea, Gretel is sadly still borderline, and Iris has gained 300g, which is fantastic, but still a way to go as she’s so tiny. Heidi is doing well although smaller than the rest and Meredith’s doing really well, she doesn’t want to stop eating! This is just a small amount of the medication they need, which you’re teaming support helps us to provide, so thank you so much. We and the lambs really appreciate it.

More lambs have been saved - saved from the slaughter. All housed in our home and receiving vet care for being weak, dehydration and diarrhoea. Feeding at the sanctuary is a big task, as these lovely little babies learn to suckle from a bottle and some only able to drink small amounts in short stints, then try again. The first three are still a concern, therefore vet visits and 24 hour care is being given, but as they are so young all need that 24 hour care. Meet Heidi, she arrived yesterday as one of the 4 lambs from the second farm. She's very much on the small side, so she's under very watchful eye too. With your help we can offer these lambs a chance of survival and a peaceful, happy and healthy future, so thank you. We and the animals are very grateful.

These little beautiful babies have been saved, suffering from dehydration, diarrhoea and broken bones. Rescued and brought to the sanctuary, immediately received veterinary treatment and happy to say are doing very well. Thank you for your support, without you these stories wouldn't be possible.

À tous nos extraordinaires membres de l'équipe. Un grand merci pour votre soutien, sans vous les magnifiques animaux - petits et grands - n'auraient pas le sanctuaire dont ils ont besoin quand ils en ont besoin et la vie de paix, de bonheur et d'amour dont ils ont tant besoin. Prenons l'exemple de Jack, jeté dans une poubelle alors qu'il n'était qu'un bébé, soigné et remis sur pied par ses parents humains et sa mère porteuse, et regardez-le aujourd'hui, il a grandi et il est merveilleux ! Merci de contribuer à faire de ces histoires une réalité pour les animaux du Sanctuaire Big V. Vous êtes vraiment extraordinaires. Vous êtes vraiment extraordinaires. Si vous souhaitez nous aider davantage, n'hésitez pas à nous faire connaître auprès de votre famille et de vos amis. Nous vous remercions.

To all our amazing Teamers. A great big thank you for your support, without you the beautiful animals - large and small, wouldn't have the sanctuary they need when they need it and life of peace, happiness and love they have so needed. Take Jack for insistance, dumped in a bin as a baby, nursed back to full health by his human parents and surrogate cow parent and look at him now- fully grown and wonderful! Thank you for helping to make these stories a reality for the animals at the Big V Sanctuary. You truly are amazing. If you'd like to help us more please share us to your family and friends. Thank you

Hi, just wanted to thank everyone for their continued support for Big v sanctuary. For most of you I hope that €1 a month donation is small, but the impact on the sanctuary is larger than you realise. Having reliable income coming in month over month gives some stability to the sanctuary and a few less sleepless nights. thank you xxx

Hi, just an update on life at the sanctuary. Miranda and Jerome continue to battle health issues so have been head down concentrating on giving amazing care (as always) to the 150+ animals and therefore understandably neglecting social media and returning messages. They are sorry for being so quiet, and hope to be back on line soon keeping everyone up to date on the beautiful animals that they care for. Thank you for your continued support xxx

As the weather gets colder and stormier, at Big V we are making sure the animals have plenty of cosy options for resting and sleeping. Here you can see the one of the pot bellied families 'sharing' some shelter begrudgingly with Winston. The dent in the roof in the left hand side is courtesy of Annabel the other resident goat, her fondness for bouncing off roofs means this shelter will need repairing before long!
