Yes, Ravi is still scruffy but he sure must be feeling like a million bucks compared to three days ago.
While he is under anesthesia later this week (neuter/dental) he can get the rest of the fur shaved so he looks better.
When the North Central Los Angeles city animal shelter asked us to take Ravi, they prepared us that his hair was so matted that it was pinching his skin. 😭
He is a middle aged fella who has cataracts. (we have an ophthalmology consult scheduled, crossing the 🤞🏼 that there is a chance for cataract surgery)
His teeth are gross and likely in need of extractions.
We were not prepared for the stench of what this poor dog has been having to smell on himself. (he smelled like sewage, the volunteer vehicle was still stinky after a day of having the windows rolled down) 🙊
This poor guy broke our hearts into a million pieces. 💔
We desperately tried to find a vet that could do a sedated shave down but no one could accept him at the last minute.
Then we called multiple groomers, begging to pay a premium to get him shaved down.
We finally found one that was hesitant to attempt a shave down after seeing Ravi in person but luckily they said yes. It took four people to work on him.
The odor of his skin was so hard to get out that it took several more baths over a couple of days. 🛁🧼
We saw our vet and they have scheduled his neuter and dental for this week.
Ravi likely has never been bathed or groomed before, or ever been to a vet.
We wonder if he was a breeder dog? For all those consumers buying puppies off of Craigs List or pet stores or any website that has cocker spaniel puppies available for sale - don’t be surprised when cataracts develop.
Cataracts are common in the breed when the parent dogs and grandparent dogs are not being screened for health.
Newsflash, if you are buying a cocker spaniel puppy that does not require you to be on a two to three year waitlist, there is a good chance you are buying from a backyard breeder who is skipping ethical breeding protocols for health.

P.S. Ravi means “sun” or light. We hope he is a candidate for cataract surgery so he can see the world again!
