Hamilton (Medical Hold)

1/21/24 : We'd like to introduce you to a newly rescued sweetheart. Hamilton was found in Clewiston, FL last week. He remained unclaimed thru his stray hold. He was shut down and stiff in fear at the shelter. Hammies freedom ride was this past Sunday evening. He doesn't know what a leash is and had to be carried from car to house, house to yard for potty time and yard to house. He was covered in fleas and filth. He had conjunctivitis in both eyes. Hammie was terrified during his bath but thoroughly enjoyed his scrubbing and massage during the bath. Hamilton has seen a vet now, and has gotten his vaccines. We have meds for his eyes. He isn't producing tears on his own which may require lifelong eye drops or lubricant. He has old scars under his coat which make his coat look a bit "moth eaten" in some areas. He has old scars on his forelegs where hair likely won't grow back. Aside from what is listed above, this amazingly sweet boy is heartworm positive. He will start on pre-treatment Doxycycline. He will need to be neutered before adoption, so Handsome Hammy is on medical hold for a few months. We will look for sponsors for him when his heartworm injections start in March. He is located in South Florida. www.ratbonerescues.com
