Lucky

This little guy's new owner named him Lucky, for obvious reasons. He came into the shelter extremely matted and with horrible skin problems and a lot of hot spots. We had to shave him completely to work on getting his skin sores healed. APL's registered vet technician, one of our veterinarians, and other volunteers spent many hours looking after him and trying to figure out his skin problems. After we began treating him, his skin generally healed, but he constantly dug at his ears. He was a very miserable little guy; we had to put a cone on him to keep him from digging at his ears, and began trying to find a good diet for him because we initially attributed the constant ear infections to allergies. After several weeks of treatment and trying to find a good diet for him, he was still very uncomfortable and constantly clawing at his ears.

He was so miserable that we were contemplating humane euthanasia. One of our veterinarians suggested that we anesthetize him and have a thorough look in his ears. He found deeply embedded fox tails in both ears. He removed the fox tails and neutered him and Lucky did an almost immediate turn around. He went from a sullen little guy to a happy, energetic, loving young dog.

He was adopted by a woman who has another dog and two horses. Lucky now gets to run and play to his heart's content. He has a wonderful home where he is well loved, groomed regularly and taken care of. He has no signs of the trauma he went through in his early life and is well adjusted and happy.
