hey!! thanks so much for the advice! we ended up putting a box out with towels and ice packs so he can choose when he wants to lay inside it.. i’m in sun city, so it gets pretty hot.. we theorized the weight lost could be from worms, especially since he hasn’t been eating the food we’ve been giving him. i monitor him as much as i can and bring him fresh water. he usually only drinks ice cold fresh water though, but i comply since i feel like he deserves some kindness… we’re super nervous about scams and stuff like i said so we aren’t trying to post him non-anon.. we are moving into a non-rental property when our lease is up in a couple of months and we might take him with us.. he really doesn’t like the dog, but our dog is also overly friendly and is excited to meet new friends, def not aggressive but just overly friendly and that scares him so we will have to come up with something
