He had a full exam done. He was given a shot for rabies and distemper, snaptested for fiv/felv, he came back positive for FIV. We had him de-wormed and treated with revolution for fleas even though we did not see any. We had a full blood Senior Wellness Panel done on him to which we will get the results back in a few days. We had a ringworm culture done that will be back in 2 weeks even though there was no glow, which you can't always go by. We also had a Cytology test done to check for any bacterial infections and he was given an antibiotic injection of Convenia. We had his nails clipped and his ears cleaned. He weighs in at 13lbs. And lastly, I had all of his hair completely shaved off.
This poor baby has a major skin infection all over his stomach and
behind his legs and some on his back, which explains why we saw him
consistently trying to groom himself. We aren't sure if the rash/scabs
are a bacterial infection from all the grease and shit he was laying in
under the dumpsters. The vet also said they can possibly be burns from
the grease. We aren't sure which is why we had the Cytology test done.
My heart broke and I cried for all that he has been through. I was able to hold him today when he was under his knockout drug and it was the most amazing feeling to finally be able to give him the love that he deserves.
This poor cat was living under grease dumpsters in Lower Wacker Drive, living amongst the rats. He didn't get to see sunlight and he didn't get to breathe fresh air. He lived every day in fear with all the crazy that was down there. I literally feared for my life when I was there and I only spent 2 weeks down there. I can't even imagine how he has been living this way for so long. That should NEVER of happened. He should NEVER of had to live that way, not even for a day. We are still researching his story and we will get to the bottom of it. I promise him that.
He is currently with me at my house sleeping in a warm bed where he no longer has to fear, where the air is fresh and where he can see the difference between day and night. I will help him rehabilitate and show him the good in the world. He has a long road ahead of him. He has many future vet appointments ahead of him. We look forward to putting that horrible life of his behind. He has already started anew.

Here are some photos of his vet appointment from today. Not for the faint of heart.
