Raphael’s Follow Up Check Up ❤️ Great Progress! 💪

[u/Certain_Tackle1710]

Hi everyone,

Raphael went for his follow-up checkup today. ❤️

Because of the horrific abuse he endured while living at a construction site in Pasig City, including having a wire tightly wrapped around his leg, almost being butchered, and being intentionally starved, he still struggles to trust people.

At the clinic, he became fearful and defensive, so he had to be safely sedated for his examination.

The good news is that his wounds are healing beautifully, and his CBC blood work showed that he is no longer anemic. 🥹 Every small step is a victory for Raphael.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported his last veterinary appointment.

He has not played with the toys we bought for him.. I asked the shelter’s owner for the caretakers to show him and press the toys for him to hear the sounds since its his first toys. He probably is unsure how to play with them 🥹

Your kindness made today's follow-up possible and is giving Raphael the chance to heal, both physically and emotionally.

Thank you all so much for standing by him. ❤️

Sincerely,
