Hi, he needs a professional grooomer to get the mats out. 2nd to that I would not let him roam any nore unless you want this or worse to be repeated.

Is he fixed?

I agree sounds like he needs a professional to clean and maybe even trim his coat. Plus he obviously needs a bath to get rid of the smell.

If he was missing for two weeks in addition to a groomer I would suggest a vet visit to see if the fur pulling is health-related.
