Story
Gunther is new to Bonaparte's Retreat and was brought in to MACC as a stray so we don't know too much about him yet! He does seem very interested in dogs and did great with both a cat and another dog on his recent Bonaparte's Breakout so we think he will want to be around them and seems very young and spry for a 15 year old guy! He will be getting a groom soon and will fee so much better when that's done! He does seem like he was kept outside on a thick chain and doesn't seem to understand positive touch so can be a little head shy but is quick to lean in to you when he senses he's loved! He seems to both see and hear well enough but is a little impaired which is to be expected at 15! We did recently learn at his vet appointment that Gunther is Heartworm positive but, because of his age, we won't be doing the conventional treatment as it would be too tough on him. So we will be killing off those boogers with his Heartworm prevention each month! His heart and lungs do sound good though! He also may have an autoimmune disease which we would also probably not treat due to his age because he is in otherwise great shape and eats well enough though he does have bad teeth. The vet did not recommend sedating Gunther unless it was an emergency. He also has some arthritis but still is very active and is learning how to be a dog which we love to see! We also learned he is not neutered but has one testicle on the outside that is very small and the other is inside but the vet doesn't believe it is negatively affecting him.May 9, 2024, 1:49 pm
