Story
Matty is ready for retirement! This adorable fellow joined our rescue after his owner passed away. He’s a full-bred Papillon, but we think there must be some teddy bear in there somewhere! He is 16 years old, but he doesn’t look a day over 12. Matty is a very sweet boy who has been a champ adapting to life at our rescue and retirement home. He gets along well with other dogs and spends most of his day curled up in beds, peacefully sleeping. Medically, our initial focus was on clearing up some skin issues and lowering his liver values. When he arrived, he was very itchy from past flea allergies and was given an allergy injection and an antibiotic for relief. His skin is in much better shape. His liver values have also regulated. Matty has a grade 4 heart murmur and was diagnosed with Stage B1 Mitral Valve Disease. This stage means he is not in heart failure, and does not currently require medication for this. We recommend regular echocardiograms to monitor for progression. The cardiologist also reported that Matty has "atrial premature complexes with occasional supraventricular tachycardia." This essentially means he has some heartbeat irregularities. He recently started a medication to help with his heart arrhythmia and should be checked at each vet visit. He has a mature cataract in his left eye, an immature cataract in his right eye, and several large lipomas around his groin. But his teeth look pretty good for a dog his age! Matty has recently had full blood work. He is also neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. To apply to adopt Matty, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt
