@LunasMomma- that is my biggest question- how in the world can something so cute and sweet remain a stray long enough for his health to deteriorate so badly! Loose in Texas in July! Poor thing.
I did go ahead and bathe him with condition only and a really really good rinse. Wasn't too scary and he seems to feel much better! I just towel blotted his tear stains.
His teeth don't look too terrible given the circumstances- a good amount of build up which we will take care of later.. Taking things step by step
We are so happy to have him and really looking forward to watching him blossom into the sweet little cuddle bug he naturally is. I can't wait to get him to the point that I can post a 'look at me in my glory now' pic! :P
