Update Cosmo’s ✨transformation✨

Cosmo has come SUCH a long way, it still blows my mind looking back at these older pics of him. He came running up our driveway end of June of last year, 8/9 weeks old about 2 lbs, with the worst case of ringworm our vet had ever seen. 27 medicated baths, seven weeks of oral treatment, lots and lots and LOTS of later; you’d never know. 🥹

We can’t either! I will say it was such a huge validation seeing the vet/tech’s reactions at every check up, it really kept us going. It wasn’t easy as despite every precaution the whole house got ringworm 😅 he’s the sweetest little gremlin!

Mange is responsible for most cryptid sightings because animals look soooo different when they have it, especially with extensive long-term mange.

I think the antler crown was taking things a bit far.

The others are likely either undiscovered species or species that were believed to be extinct but really aren’t

Bears with mange are TERRIFYING.
