Meet DONATE 4 Carlton



Carlton arrived from an overcrowded WA shelter. This sweet little guy appears to have been neglected in his prior home and he found himself in an overcrowded shelter. He is estimated to be just under 1 yr old and weighs 18lbs. Carlton came into rescue underweight and full of worms which likely caused demodex (due to his immune system fighting the worms and NOT the demodex mites). At this time the demodex needs treatment. The worms also caused a condition called a Prolapsed Rectum. All of these ailments are fixable and he is currently undergoing treatment for all conditions. He is receiving regular wormings, demodex treatment (ivermectin and special baths), and immune system support supplements (immune booster, whole body support, and dermal support). However, his prolapsed rectum will need surgery (Colopexy) from a specialist. This is an expensive surgery and Carlton would love your support and donations. Please consider donating to Carlton's care so he can find the loving home he so deserves. Carlton is a remarkable Boston and once he is healthy enough he will be up for adoption!



UPDATE

11/13--Carlton has had a couple weeks of demodex treatment and his hair is growing back and is doing so much better. The rectal prolapse is still apparent and NWIPR has scheduled his surgery.

11/27--Carlton had another skin scraping for his demodex and there are only 2 eggs and no live mites, so treatment is progressing nicely and is on the road to recovery. He has been neutered and we are hoping this will assist with his rectal prolapse.



12/24 - Carlton had his first negative skin scraping. We are scheduling his rectal prolapse surgery soon since neutering did not resolve the issue and he is almost demodex free.



1/1 surgery is scheduled for 1/6



1/7 - Carlton had his second negative skin scrape and is now considered to be demodex free.



1/31 - Carlton is doing fantastic - his bottom appears to be staying where it should. Unfortunately some prolapses can recur (even after surgery), so at this time he is still on a medical hold until we feel comfortable that he can be placed, but even then this condition could still recur in his future.



3/10 - Carlton is going in for colopexy surgery. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers



3/12 - Carlton had his surgery and is recuperating very well

CONSIDER FOSTERING A DOG

*** Do you or someone you know have the desire to help a rescue dog? If you have a loving heart, dog experience, a safe and secure yard and the notion to make a difference, please consider fostering a rescue dog. There are MANY dogs that we just do not have room for and just one person can make a world of difference to a dog that needs a safe place to rest his or her weary paws.....***
