Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This little dog is at least 12 years old - he was found wandering the streets looking for a warm home and a meal. He was severely matted and very thin on intake on 11/30. He is off of stray wait on December 4th. He is very hard of hearing, and we suspect he does have some vision. He has no teeth left, we suspect they all fell out, leaving 2 very large oronasal fistulas (open communication between mouth and nose) - he is very thin but is ravenously hungry, he needs wet food only and some assistance with eating. As of 12/10/25 he has gained 1 lb in shelter with soft feeding. He graciously allowed us to shave out all of his horrible matts. The medical team has attempted repair of his large, extensive oronasal fistulas on 12/5/25. As of recheck on 12/10/25, one has re-opened (R maxillary canine site), another fistula repair flap is still holding at the L maxillary premolar area. Definitive repair at these sites may require surgery with an maxillofacial surgeon given extensive size. If an adopter or rescuer does not seek repair, pt is at risk of chronic rhinitis (nose inflammation) or aspiration (if food or water enter nasal cavity through fistulas).
