That actually seems plausible. I see no visible injury currently and I have zero idea about what he’s been through until I adopted him last week. I wonder how old this injury could be and it it’s fixable. It does appear like he just can’t lift it up.
I love that. We are putting a full door on so he can be safe and warm and locked in for the night. There are coyotes where we live so not taking any chances over night!
