Peter’s health has been quite unpredictable. There are moments when he shows signs of improvement, and moments where setbacks occur.
One of the major issues Peter faces is severe stomatitis, which has caused damage to his mouth cavity and gums. In addition, he has undergone surgeries to remove teeth and eyes. To manage his condition, he has been on cortisone for an extended period, and at times, we have had to administer steroid injections when his appetite declines.
Recently, we had to administer intravenous (IV) fluids as we noticed signs of dehydration. His appetite has also slightly decreased and experienced minor bleeding from excess coughing, prompting us to employ steroids to assist him. Thankfully, Peter is in a stable condition for now.
Unfortunately, Peter’s life will forever be marked by such challenges. Although his rescue came late, we are grateful that he is now in our care. It is still a mystery how he managed to survive on the streets all this time.
Peter’s health will always be at risk, and we continually monitor him. Nevertheless, we hope that he will stay with us for a considerable period. He is for sure so happy with us and is receiving the love and care he deserves.
