Toby was dumped at the shelter by his owners because they did not want to address his medical issues. The shelter vet looked him over and found that he has bilateral thickened knees – previous cruciate tears, gingivitis, ulcerated gums, dermatitis (probably allergies) and lick granulomas on front legs.
He will spend two weeks in shelter quarantine and get double checked by Dr. Once he is released he will be seen for a knee consultation. At this point we assume he will need to have surgery on both knees but we will know more after his consultation. For now we will address his obviously mouth and skin issues.
Carol reports that he a sweet boy and loves to wiggle! We do not know if he likes children, dogs or cats. We will update as we learn more about him. Toby is five years old.
Update 4/3/13: Toby will be neutered and have his teeth cleaned this week. He will move to a foster home next week after his shelter quarantine is up. He will see Dr Cross at GVS in a few weeks for a knee consultation.
Update 4/16/13: Toby was neutered last Monday and went to his foster home yesterday. He is such a happy boy that loves to wiggle and bark! He has a consultation with Dr Cross on 5/15 to have his knees evaluated. We will move forward with surgery then if needed.
Update: I've Been ADOPTED!!!
