Our Trooper Monkey

We rescued Monkey as a teeny baby. He also developed rhinitis shortly after we adopted him and had trouble breathing. Snorting, mucus, coughing constantly. We took him to the vet that performed his ennucleation 5 times and she said it was probably a polyp and just prescribed antibiotics. He got so bad we rushed him out of town to an emergency vet at 2am where we was put in an oxygen chamber for 18 hours and actually died for a minute on the table. He was so small 5lbs. He made a full recovery and now he is 1.5 years old, healthier than ever and the best boy and brother to our big boy Tiggy. His favorite things to do are chase ice cubes when they fall out of the fridge, collect toothpaste bottle caps, and play fetch on the cat wall with his "birdie" (a toy he's had since we got him) We are so grateful for him. He's so loving and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. Thanks for looking! Monkey would love to play with every one of you!
