Well I got him home yesterday and he is the cutest thing ever! Not to mention the sweetest, he just gets all lovie when you give him attention and gets sooo scared when you leave him alone for 3 seconds! but there are a few major problems! I was seriously lied too.
So he cant really stand and can't walk. He can only lay on one side of his body, and keeps trying to curl up in a ball. If I un curl him he acts fine and cuddly as long as I pet him/hold him back but if I stop touching him he slowly moves back... almost like he cant help it. I can't really straighten out his body.. or I guess he can't? If I lay him out normal he either flops on his back and sticks his legs straight in the air or rolls over and curls up.
If he Stands he kinds stands in a C shape and he can walk in a circle all right (very flimsy) but if he tried to walks straight he falls over... the same way I said earlier either on his back or in a ball. He tries REALLY hard to walk though and does not seem to be in any pain at all.
His Brain is all there though... he thinks perfectly fine you can tell nothing is wrong with his barin so I am thinking there is no way he was left in a hot car like suggested. I think it is something eles maybe something to do with his Spine? I jus don't know. Of course I am going to bring him to the vet I just know he has been like this for a while and don't want to stress him out for a few days because he is already stressed out being here...
Thank you
