I'm so glad he's starting to relax and trust you. That poor baby must have been through heck and back.

When he goes to the vet and I have some help I will be getting an updated picture of Chance to post here.

I have been taking him for a walk twice a day now for about 4 days. He loves his walk. Since he has no crusty skin falling off with the spores I feel it its safe...I walk him on the side of the street however-not on the sidewalk. I walk him early in the morning or late when there is no traffic...and we live in a very quiet neighborhood.
I just can't wait to be able to hug and kiss him like all the babies here get lots of TLC.

He has got to feel better physically and mentally. He probably wonders how long he'll have it good though. He knows not everyone will take care of him. He probably hopes you are his forever mom.

Yay!! I can just picture him prancing down the street on his walks.

Is his skin healing much yet?

Yep he prances all right

All the scabby, scaly nasty crappy crud is sloughed off...thanks to the Crisco. He just looks like a bald dog. A happier bald dog

but a BALD dog noneless. He just has some hair on his head.

Not being able to hug & kiss a dog is just so wrong...

I cannot wait to see pics of him!!!!!

Great to hear he is getting out a little. I really think you are amazing for taking on this little angel.

Yes, she definitely is!

Rizzo's mom · 06-04-2010, 06:22 PM

Well Chance had his first vet appointment this afternoon. He was actually very good for the assistants and the vet. Told them he might nip at them but he was great.

He has been 14 days on the anti-fungal meds (still smells to high heaven). Vet was impressed on how good his skin & ears looked in spite of his extensive condition. Told him about the old Crisco treatment.

Flushing his ears with an anti-fungal of remaining deep fungus will require sedation. So he is going to get a few things done while he is under...his teeth cleaned, micro-chip, heartworm test, and his vaccinations.

He was not a happy camper when I left him

but they said they would give him as much TLC as possible. Hopefully he will be very happy when mommy comes to get him tomorrow

Will get a picture tomorrow at the vets.

I understand wanting to do alot while he's under to avoid stress, but is it wise to do so much at one time? Can his little body handle all that at once?

I can really appreciate your concerns. The Vet felt confident that this is the best way to go after reading his previous report from Shelter Vet. Believe it or not Chance is pretty healthy in spite of his current skin condition. I felt confident with it.

Actually I am going to get him in a few hours.

They called last night and said he did great and is doing well this morning....

That's great to hear. I am so glad he did well and they were able to get everything done at once. What a little trooper. Can't wait to see how happy he is to see you when you pick him up.

dogbert · 06-05-2010, 03:07 PM

I am so happy he did well and is coming home!

Rizzo's mom · 06-05-2010, 07:06 PM

Chance is home and he looks great. Skin a little dry but he did great

He was very happy to see me

and he is home and happy.

He had his first Lyme bath and he smells much better not so stinky

so right now all is good.

This picture was taken yesterday at the vet's office. Thanks for all your encouragement.
