The hospital staff adores him so much and renamed him, Rafiki, after the character in The Lion King, because of his wild head of hair and bald body.
On Monday morning, Rafiki was neutered and all of his teeth were extracted. His testicles were sent out to a pathology lab to be tested for testicular cancer. We should have the results back at the end of the week. His initial blood work revealed that his white blood cell count was low, but his enzymes were normal. Because of his size, age and health, CCLAS feels more comfortable keeping Rafiki at West Park Animal Hospital to continue his treatment.
If you would like to make a donation toward Rafiki’s medical bills, please visit http://www.cclas.info/donate.html
(Since we mostly host cats at the shelter, we don't have any dog clothes...Refiki would love an extra-small sweater : )
