Medical Issues
Unfortunately, Beaux Tox’s long history of neglect left him with a number of medical issues. Weighing just 42 pounds and suffering from a severe case of ear mites, vets at the Hoegemeyer Animal Clinic in Kerrville, Texas weren’t sure the dog would survive for much longer. “I see neglect as a form of abuse,” said Hulit, a Texan woman who would seen be Beaux’s savior. “Maybe it’s not the same as physical abuse, but it does manifest itself physically.”
