Goodbye Grisa

We are sad to announce that on April 22nd, our much loved little donkey ‘Grisa’ was put to sleep by the vets.

Grisa has not been well for some time, over the last months, our vets tried everything they could to find a solution for her fading health.

Grisa undertook many types of tests and even x-rays, but there was nothing medically that the vets could do to improve her day to day health.

As those of you who met her or have just read about her know, Grisa was a lovely donkey. Good natured and friendly. When she first came to us she was in such bad health, we thought that the vets would suggest she be put to sleep immediately, her front legs were badly injured and her general condition was terrible. She had previously suffered from mistreatment and neglect.

However, after a lot of love and effort by the whole Centro Canino team (from the fundraisers, to the volunteers to the vets), Grisa pulled round and the vets said she was not in too much pain and that her quality of life was good. She particularly seemed to enjoy last summer a lot.

Unfortunately over the last few months, her health deteriorated and she was having regular check-ups with the vet. Finally the vet decided Grisa was suffering and there was no hope of improvement.

So very very very sadly, yesterday afternoon, after a final few carrots (which she enjoyed a lot), the vet administered an injection and Grisa went to sleep, anxiety-free, totally peacefully, for the last time.

We will miss her a lot. She was a lovely girl.
