Hey all,
This is Romeo, who was trapped outside a high-class pizza joint in Riverhead last week.
There is a small colony that resides at the restaurant that the owners usually take care of, but Romeo was new to the entourage and, as such, was unfixed.
That was the least of the problems.
From what we can tell, it looks as though a car ran over the poor man's right foot and left him in rough shape.
If you look at the above picture, you can make out the discoloration of the foot he is not putting weight on.
He has been to the vet, who gave him a powerful antibiotic and examined the foot while he was under anesthesia when he was being neutered.
The wound appears to be 7-10 days old and healing already.
Romeo also seems to have a problem with his left inner eyelid, which appears to be partially closed all the time.
We will have to address that at his checkup.
After being fixed, we decided we couldn't put him back outside injured, so he is hanging out in the shelter's intake room for a few weeks until he is ready to fend for himself.
Here are a few more pics of the handsome devil!
He's a sweet boy!
