vinny's story

Nilla Cheatwood came to us in November 2018 when her sweet, elderly Vinny had stopped eating, had an abscess on his lower gums, was throwing up all his food, and was rapidly losing weight. At 19 years old, it was imperative that we get him seen by a vet. With the help of you weirdos, we were able to get Vinny seen at PetVet, have the abscess drained, and got him on a round of antibiotics. We were also fortunate enough that, from your donations, we were able to send Vinny baby food, vitamin supplements to help him gain weight, and a heated bed for his achy old bones. Vinny was able to spend another 6 wonderful months with his family before the Weirdos came together again to help him cross the Rainbow Bridge. Vinny will always have a special place in our hearts, and Nilla has become such a good friend to many of us here in the weirdos group. Vinny is remembered and missed every day by his family and weirdo friends.
