Things are looking up for a brave B.C. boxer as he continues along his road to recovery since being rescued by the BC SPCA.

Cedric, who was formerly known as Tank, was rescued from a Vancouver property back in February, where he was and suffering from internal injuries.

Since then, according to an SPCA news release, the two-year-old boxer has been making 鈥渢errific strides鈥� on his road to recovery, thanks to 鈥榬ound-the-clock鈥� care being provided by the organization.

鈥淓very day I see more of his true personality shine through,鈥� said Jodi Dunlop, BC SPCA Vancouver branch manager, in a news release.

To care for the skin-and-bones boxer, Dunlop feeds him a tablespoon of food every couple of hours, watches him to make sure he doesn鈥檛 ingest anything he isn鈥檛 supposed to, weighs him daily and monitors his urine and fecal matter for any signs of any potential issues.

WATCH:

鈥淏ecause he had no food for so long, it鈥檚 a very slow process to increase his food intake and to ensure he鈥檚 getting the nutrients from that food,鈥� Dunlop said.

Cedric has slowly begun to gain weight, but still has problems keeping warm because he has no body fat, Dunlop said, noting a nutritionist is helping get Cedric back to a healthy weight.

While an animal curelty investigation is underway, the branch is looking ahead and reviewing several adoption applications for Cedric.

鈥淗e鈥檚 so loving and cuddly, it鈥檚 going to be hard to say 鈥榞ood-bye鈥� 鈥� I know I鈥檓 going to cry like a baby,鈥� Dunlop said.

鈥淥ut of all of my fosters 鈥� and I鈥檝e fostered a lot of animals 鈥� he鈥檚 my favourite.鈥�
