ARTIE - another for the record
books!!
This afternoon, I was sitting on the couch, working on the
website and watching Animal Precinct on Animal Planet. The
phone rings - its Alicia with Dobie rescue. She starts telling
me that this good samaritian just showed up at her adoption
event with a HORRIBLE-LOOKING shih tzu. "He is mangy,
has no hair, has scabs all over his body and he STINKS."
"OK, I said, sounds like what my vet would call a Lone Star
dog!!"
I met the good samaritan that afternoon and this is what I
found - ARTIE. I took him home, gave him a Capstar (he was
crawling with fleas) and soaked him in medicated shampoo.
Tomorrow, he goes to the vet. I suspect sarcoptic and/or
demodex mange.

UPDATE: October 30, 2004
Artie has demodex and heartworms. He is also very anemic from all of the fleas.
We have to get him a bit healthier before we even can start treating his mange or
heartworms. He will be dipped weekly for 4-6 weeks and if that goes well, he'll
be neutered and start heartworm treatment.

| Artie's skin is infected and oozing. He was crawling with fleas. But through all the baths and poking around, he was still very sweet. |
| Ahhhhh - after the repeated baths, now for some quiet snoozing. |
