Hello! I’m new to this forum and hope I’m posting in the right place.
I had a pair of brothers and unfortunately after respiratory issues that kept getting worse I had to have one of them put to sleep. RIP Ash (the sweetest boi)
Now I’m left with Bruce. He’s 2, has a malocclusion and tumor on his side but other than that has no issues.
Ash did most of the grooming and I’m worried that Bruce won’t don’t well with upkeep. He’s terrified of water so bathing doesn’t go well with him. What are some solutions to this? I thought of baby wipes but is it safe if he licks himself after? Other than give him extra attention what can I do to help him live the rest of his life happily?

Thank you in advance!
 
baby wipes or damp cloth wipes, toothbrush brushing, ear rubs, side and body scratches, go slow and gentle at first and he'll let you know what he likes. Watch out for penis plugs as well if he's not able to bend over and clean up his bits.
