Kobi – In foster – South West

We have a heartbreaking story to share with you this evening

Meet Kobi, a 4-year-old entire male who has spent his life so far in pain and discomfort.

Kobi was surrendered to us after his primary carer abandoned him. Although he was left with family in the home he had always known, he was abandoned nonetheless.

The family quickly realised that the care and medical attention Kobi required was more than they could manage, especially the financial costs involved. They made the difficult decision to put Kobi’s needs first and reached out to us for help, which we were so grateful to be able to provide.

After seeing the condition Kobi was in, our incredible rescue coordinators and volunteers jumped into action to bring him into our care as quickly as possible. We would like to say a huge thank you to Mandy Carpenter and Sharon Smith for transporting Kobi and getting him safely to his foster mum so quickly.

Kobi has joined our wonderful volunteer, Sarah, in the South West, where we know he will be spoilt rotten and showered with all the love he needs and deserves.

Yesterday, Sarah took Kobi to the vets for a full health check. However, after not seeing a vet for such a long time and experiencing so much change, Kobi was absolutely petrified and didn’t want to be touched.

Thankfully, Sarah had taken lots of photos of Kobi’s condition for our vet to review and, as expected, he’s dealing with a lot: a double ear infection, demodex, allergies, an eye infection, bilateral cherry eye, overgrown claws, and severe hyperkeratosis.

Kobi has now been started on a course of antibiotics, steroids, and Malaseb shampoo to begin his road to recovery. In two weeks, he will return to the vets for a thorough examination under sedation, during which his eyes will be examined thoroughly, his ears will be flushed, and his claws will be trimmed.

You’re safe and loved now, Kobi, and we will do everything in our power to help you recover and live the pain-free life you deserve.
