Joelson

Joelson came to Cameron Animal Hospital in bad shape; malnourished with a severe, painful mouth infection. He was exhausted, in chronic pain, and always hungry because he couldn't comfortably eat. Watching him heal and recover has been incredibly rewarding. Joelson has stomatitis, a painful inflammation of the mouth and gums. It is an autoimmune condition, and we have been able to control it with medication. He was very malnourished when he first came to CAH, and was frantic for wet food that he could eat with less pain. As his mouth has healed, he has been able to eat more comfortably, and that food obsession has calmed (although he still loves to eat). Joelson must remain on the medication for life. Joelson is FIV (+), FeLV (-). He is fully vaccinated, has been fecal tested, and has had general bloodwork, which showed execellent health. Joelson has always been incredibly gentle, even when he was at his most uncomfortable. And as he has healed, he has started to seek human company. He is learning how much he enjoys petting and attention. He will thrive in a quiet home, as a calm companion. Especially if you have lots of treats for him!
