New Foster

Tiffany on Health - Mon, September 22 2008

Well, we have a foster for a few weeks. He is SICK. He has a horrible skin infection from allergies and smells so bad it even turned my paramedic gut of steel!!! His ears are infected too. He is still the sweetest little guy though. I hope the antibiotics kick in quick because my house, car, couch, ME all smell like sick dog now. I will get pictures up soon. The shelter said he was cockapoo, but he is definately Shih Tzu/Poodle mix. I can only keep him for three weeks - husband's orders - so if anyone knows of a rescue that would take in a special needs doggy, PLEASE let me know. I am basically "rehabbing" him to try and clear up the infection.

Wow! I know what infected ears smell like. It is nasty. My daughter's Shih Tzu had really bad ears. I hope the next 3 weeks is enough time to get this little dog in better shape.

Oh, I hope he gets better soon. Penny's my ear infection girl, so I know that sweet, yeasty, yucky smell.....

Blech! I battled ear infections with Nigel too, and it is disgusting! Good for you for rehabbing this boy so he can find his forever home :)

I have been giving him a scoop of non fat plain yogurt in the mornings and (knock on wood) have had no reoccurance (sp) of the infectoions.
