My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Baguette! This nibbly boy transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society!
Baguette was found as a stray and taken to a local vet. He was picked up by Humane Law Enforcement not long after and taken to SDHS.
He had been there a month prior where he was secluded due to his kennel stress and was on anxiety medications. They were working to address his health concerns when we took over.
His previous owner must have left him outdoors as he had healing fly bites on his ears, corneal scarring on his left eye, healing scrapes on his lower back, and was underweight.
During his time with us we weaned him off his anxiety medications, his skin has improved, and we continue to work on the cause of his gastrointestinal upset.
Health implications aside, Baguette has been an energetic busy bee with his new friends, loves to nibble on the staff's fingers, and is such a ball of joy!

Health considerations: Baguette still has consistent blood in his stools. We have conducted a series of blood and parasite tests, all of which did not point to any root cause. We are working through changes to his prescribed diet to find what will work best for his gastrointestinal concerns. The next step in addressing his health concerns is an abdomen ultrasound. We have an appointment with a specialist for his ultrasound on 12/16 and hope to come closer to diagnosing his ailment in the near future.
Baguette has permanent corneal scarring on his left eye. This does not greatly affect his eyesight as it is rather small.
Please note that Baguette is not available until he has a diagnosis and treatment/management plan.

Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.
