Meet Azul! This old man arrived today all the way from MA to CA. He has some swelling issues in his front feet, his previous owner says that they have been that way for a few years and he was given antibiotic injections with no change. I am suspecting its scar tissue as I have a monitor with very similar looking feet. A little bit of blood from the area under a microscope should tell us if theres scar tissue cells or not. His toes are very deformed, going all different directions and hes missing toenails. He has a burn scar that reopens from time to time on his back and a pretty noticable hump in his back too. Hes an older guy at 10 years old and is a mere 3lbs so hes very undersized from irregular, poor quality meals.Hes not fond of humans at all, but can you blame him? I'm hoping with a full tummy that he will learn to to trust humans a bit more.
