A campaign has been launched to raise £3,000 to save the life of a two-year-old rescue pig.

Angel suffers from muscle spasms and seizures - and the latter are believed to have caused her to lose almost all of her sight.

She has been looked after at Retreat into Wonderland in Bullockstone Road, Herne Bay, since being rescued in March.

Jen Silk, from the animal sanctuary, says they are in a race against time to raise funds needed for treatment.

“We started to realise that when she’d walk, one side of her body wouldn’t move properly and she’d have muscle spasms,” the 34-year-old said.

“She keeps getting seizures and they have made her lose most of her sight. It’s very upsetting because she lets out a cry whenever she gets one and she gets very distraught afterwards.

“Our vet seems to think she either had meningitis when she was a youngster and it hadn’t been treated or it could be a result of starvation.”

Ms Silk says the only vet who can give Angel the MRI scan she needs to diagnose her illness is based in Bristol and will cost £3,000. She has now set up a GoFundMe page to raise the money needed.

“It seems to be that with every seizure she loses more of her eyesight,” added Ms Silk.

“She’s such a happy, friendly girl. Because she’s so young she deserves that chance to live.”
