    This was Maximus 6 weeks ago when we rescued him from a 3 foot chain. He was completely broken. You won’t believe how good he looks today… (1/7) 🧵

    His skin was in agony, you could see all his bones and he had a liver a miserable life. We knew it would take 5-6 weeks (2/7)

    His ears were so badly infected we thought he had lost his hearing. We’ve managed to restore his hearing and fix his skin issues fully now. His health is 90% better already (3/7)
