Peter

Peter was left in a small wire cage outside in the cold. No one ever took him out to play or interact with him. He had severe urine scald from sitting in his urine which caused the fur on his leg to fall off. He was fed junk food pellets (pellets with nuts, seeds,and dried sugary fruit) and no Timothy hay or veggies. This caused him to become so over weight for his tiny body that he was unable to clean himself. His feet had sore hocks from sitting on wire. He had a huge lump, when we rescued, him on his stomach. We took him to the Vet who discovered during surgery that the excess skin from becoming obese caused a fold in his skin that trapped dried feces which stuck to his fur and tummy. The Vet had to remove the excess skin and give Peter a tummy tuck.
