Found paralysed on the street
Trooper was found on the street in Alexandria, unable to move anything but his head. By all accounts, he had been there for some time. He also had trauma to his head which caused sub corneal haemorrhage.
His hip was dislocated, and he was unable to sit up or stand. He was just lying there. His legs were swollen with no muscle on them, covered in bite wounds, plus he had an abcess in his testicles.
Despite his condition, he still had a spark of life, and he was taken to the vet, where he began eating and drinking, as well as being given pain relief. Within a week, he managed to get up and begin tottering around.
Trooper appeared to be making a good recovery, but the internal damage had taken his toll. He passed away from a heart attack in February 2025. Trooper left a big hole in our hearts.
