Check out this handsome boy all cleaned up and already feeling SO much better :)! Mikey has gain 6 pounds over the weekend simply from becoming rehydrated and being fed frequent meals (same amount for his frame, just split up into several smaller feedings). His urine burned skin is also healing nicely thanks to soothing cleanings and he he becoming stronger everyday. Thank you all so much for sending well wishes his way ♡ We will keep you posted on progress. About Mikey- On Friday (1/5/15), Mikey was rescued by the Thomasville PD when they found him inside a residence in Thomasville, NC. They were not responding to an animal call, they were actually there on a completely different matter but, by the stroke of luck they spotted him, called AC Officer Lewis for help so he could be taken to safety to get the help he desperately needed. We met Officer Lewis at Davidson Animal Hospital where Dr. Hedrick was standing by waiting for his arrival. Medical Findings: Mikey is estimated to be around 3yrs of age, he is a Pit X weighing in at only 17 pounds. He was running a slight fever at 103 (normal is 101) and his soft nails were so overgrown they looked like eagle talons. His fecal was positive for hook and whip worms, Heartworm test Negative, and his flaky fur was soaked in sticky layers of urine and feces. Mikey was fed and watered (he was so appreciative), vaccinated and prepped for warm bath to soothe his urine burned skin. He will be fed frequent nutritional meals and monitored closely over night. Mickey will not go bed hungry, thirsty or filthy tonight. He will have a full belly, a full water dish and will sleep in a warm, clean kennel with a soft bedding to cuddle on. For Mikey, tonight will finally be a good night with sweet dreams. Please keep Mikey in your thoughts for a full recovery. *Cruelty charges will be filed, we will post all info as it becomes available on our Facebook page* Donations are greatly needed to cover Mikey’s medical care, test, treatments, neuter, and board.
