I only have a short update. The vet kept BraveHeart. She said his teeth are SO bad that he probably hasn't eaten "FOR A WHILE!".

He actually lost over a pound in the last 3 days (according to his weight at the shelter's vet on Jan 23 and his weight today!)

The problem will be making it through the anesthesia. Not even due to his heart murmur, but because of his dilapidated condition. BUT if we did not pull the teeth today, he would not eat and could not be force fed due to the pain in his mouth. (a catch 22)

So pray for him to be strong enough to make it.
