Is anyone able to help this guy? Could be just me, but he looks very, very swollen and sad...
So many sad little torties in the LA/IE areas this month, I wish I had enough space to help.

Aaah, maybe? I don't know, I haven't been too active on the forum so I may have missed it. Actually, taking a closer look, the ad was posted 15 days ago, so it's possible

I think you are right, he (?) does indeed look swollen, just a word of warning, it could be a very expensive rescue.

Yes - it was me - I bought her. She is so horribly sick! She's still alive, but barely. My vet and I are doing all we can for her. Prayers for her recovery please!!!!

Rochelle, you're an angel!! Even if he doesn't make it, someone cared enough to try.

Best wishes to you and her. May her get well soon.

I'm very sorry. But you tried, and that takes a lot of guts.
