This is the latest little rescue that came in on Monday. I won't even tell you his story...it still angers me too much. I will tell you that he's close to 3 years old and about 2 feet long. This is one of the worst cases of MBD I've ever seen. He's a beautiful little guy and seems to have the will to survive.

Matthew, I expect that some of the swellings will go down...not sure if they will disappear completely. We can only hope. He is a pretty little guy and seems very sweet. He's holding his own for now.

Oh Jiff, that is aweful. I am still not over the poor igs being used as target practice with paint guns.
I know he/she is in the best possible care with you!
Good luck and keep us posted.
