Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

he's got hip and knee problems, so he's being referred to an orthopedic surgeon. i think it may be why he was dropped off at the shelter in the first place (the former family may have realized how expensive it would be to get him healthy again). fingers crossed we can get a treatment plan started next week. ❤️‍🩹

i hadn't thought of a temporary ramp! we could definitely put one out front for him during recovery.

thankfully i'm not responsible for his vet bills (the rescue pays for all of that), but i'm not sure i'd be able to afford it on my own if i were. sounds like he's gonna have a lengthy stay with me.
