Biscuit appeared one morning near a small neighborhood store, hiding beneath a parked car. He was hungry and exhausted, but what immediately stood out was that he couldn't close his mouth properly and was struggling to eat.
After several attempts, Biscuit finally allowed someone to get close enough to help him. He was brought to a veterinary hospital, where X-rays revealed an old, untreated fracture in his jaw, most likely caused by a serious accident while he was living on the streets.
Because the injury had gone untreated for so long, the bone had begun healing incorrectly. Biscuit also developed a painful infection that makes eating difficult and continues to put his health at risk.
He now needs specialized surgery to repair his jaw, remove damaged tissue, and treat the infection. Until then, he requires pain medication, antibiotics, soft food, and regular veterinary monitoring.
Despite everything, Biscuit still seeks affection and starts purring whenever someone sits beside him. After surviving alone for so long, he finally has people fighting for him.
The next step is getting Biscuit through surgery and recovery so that eating will no longer hurt.
