In our final edition of our Health Check series, we’re going to take you through the health checks we provide for our biggest and our smallest residents.

Liz joined the HEEFS family when April’s babies were about two and a half years old, and when “Hercules, or ‘Herc’, as everyone calls him, had just returned from minor surgery at OVC and was not accepted back into his herd.

It’s probably not fair that we ask our volunteers to pick their favourite resident to feature in our Special Bonds article each month. After all, when it comes to our residents, it’s hard to pick just one…so, for this month’s Special Bonds, Christine has picked our entire sheep family! 

When Esther The Wonder Pig fell ill in 2017, there was no CT scanner large enough in Canada to scan her.

On August 26 we welcomed 4 roosters and 12 hens to live out their lives at HEEFS.

Comprehensive health checks are done for our pigs every 4 weeks and for our rabbit residents every 6 weeks.
