    He has a lot of issues like anemia, blood parasites and other illnesses making him weak. Out of all the treatments though giving him a good wash felt the best. His eyes show his pain (5/7)

    24 hours ago he was on the streets alone and broken. Jimbo is only a young boy if about 2 but he looks ancient from the pain. Tonight he is full of medicines and good healthy food. He’s as clean as a whistle and his bed is extra comfy. The comeback has started ❤️ (7/7)
