SMOKEY PORKCHOP – 19017
Safe - 1-27-2018 Manhattan
SAFE 1/27/18 Poor Smokey Porkchop was dumped by his owner because “he was running in circles and hitting his head”! Gee ya think a visit to the VET would have been the place to bring him? Smokey has a severe case of ear mites and otitis and if any of the “running” episodes occur after ear treatment he should be seen by a vet for possible neuro issues. He is only 2-3 yrs old and otherwise healthy. Please adopt this handsome creamsicle boy today.
