We sedated him to save him from the fur that had become his prison💔🐶 Part 1 this dog was so badly matted we had to sedate just to discover what was hiding underneath tried to catch this he was scared aggressive and completely trapped inside years of neglected fur when we finally got him to the veterinarian only one safe option light sedation and then we started shaving the mats were so that they felt more like a hard shell than fur his body was incredibly thin to be made carefully we remove biggest piece from his back imagine carrying this heavy against your skin every single day but then we discovered something even worse his tail was almost completely swallowed by the we couldn't even clearly ended and the tangled fur and while we were carefully freeing it we learned something that completely changed the story this wasn't just a neglected stray dog he actually had an elderly owner who had been unable to afford his grooming and now freeing him without hurting but his tail was still trapped

Original caption

We had to sedate him because his own fur had become too painful to safely remove while he was awake💔 For two days, we tried to catch this terrified boy. When we finally brought him to the veterinarian, we discovered a coat so thick and tangled that it looked like a shell covering his entire body. Piece by piece, we started freeing him. Then his huge tail got stuck in the worst of the mats, and we realized just how much pain he had been carrying. But this wasn’t the story of a dog nobody wanted… He actually belonged to an elderly woman who simply couldn’t afford to care for him anymore. And suddenly, this groom became about more than a haircut. It became about helping both of them🐶❤️ Part 2 reveals what happened when we finally set him free🇺🇸 #doggrooming #satisfying #dogsoftiktok #rescuedog #usa
