11/8 Cprange note to Slenker

So for 3 mos, he needs to take heart guard. That’s probably what you do for Dudley? It has to be the brand heart guard though. Not sentinel or any of the other ones.

It is an injection that the vet must give. There are different protocols but usually the dog gets two shots in a short time period. Then the worms start to die off into the blood stream. DURING THIS TIME! FOR 30 DAY THE DOG MUST BE CRATED, LIMITED PLAY AND NO RUNNING OR CHASING. This is because the worms are dieing off and it could cause a clotting issue. I will look for a good website to explain later but that is high level. ARG will pay for this treatment, through a vet we use in the Atlanta area. She helps us with HW pos dogs because the treatment is expensive. So I don’t mean to talk scary but I wanted you to know the ‘worst case scenario’. There are no long term effecT on his health. And because he is low infestation, if any, it means he is in the very early stages. If left untreated, you’ve probably seen those gross pictures in the veterinary office where it shows a heart full of worms. A preventable disease…..but also fixable and we are fortunate Hudson was detected early.

I don’t get freaked out about HW anymore because we have so many ARG dogs who come into our care with HW.

Subject: Zelda
Hi James, I’m your airplane friend, I brought a mix dale you flew to Macon (?)
She is at Shady Pine off 208 where you have gone before.
She is a good gal. Today I put the window down and she put her nose on the door, just hanging out.Very calm, not the least bit skittish– a little apprehensive the first day—but today you would have thought we were best buds
great with everyone at the vets ( Dr Compton at Crossroads) everyone thought she was very well behaved.
There was a big black cat just hanging on the high desk and Zelda had a” very interested in you cat” look, but not a trying to get to the cat ( and they were maybe 36 in apart) not a bark or noise toward the cat
and then back to me and that was that
just a good gal.She has a brown front tooth, but the vet said it is dead, but not reason to do anything with it, she is not in pain and no infection
She does need her ears washed with a wipe on the ear flap —-there are lost of folds from past infection and the vet feels this should be kept clean to stop any type of infection from starting
She has a little bacteria in the ears now and he gave me drops once a day–think this is more of a protections against past problems
The family I picked she up from had two kids in the back seat where she was riding with them.
I have given her a heart/flea (Trifexis 40-60 lb) for the November from my dogs package they are the same weight
call me on my cell and I can tell you more about her

Owners came forward before Deborah took to vet. Relatives were watching their dogs and they got loose.

Debra will take him to the vet tomorrow to check for a chip, as you saw from my email. I do not have the new CC number so can one of you call and give the vet the number in the a.m.? Or send it to me in 2 or 3 emails (so it isn’t easily identifiable as a CC number) and I’ll do it.
If he does NOT have a chip, should we post him on Sidney’s Lost & Found Airedales?
I saved the photos from my phone because it’s easier to have them in email.

From Pat on her ears
Fforgot to tell you about her ears
they are reddish inside, but not a smell and VERY VERY thick, I had never seen cauliflower ears before
she does not seem to be bothered when you rub around her head and ears
so guess they are fine, but you wonder how the poor baby could hear

Subject: Re: Airedale Zelda Monday 11/4
ok, this is what I have surmise about the little girl
she loves men–there were 5 or 6 guys working with a boat and trailer. I asked them if I cold bring her close and see if she liked men; she was pulling me towards them. they were fine; talked , touched and let her smell them
She is ok on a leash, may have used a a retractable leash because she does not pay any attention to the person on the end of her leash. Tries to walks in front of me or against my knee ( my dogs walk beside my left leg and I had her there) Would not be good for someone unsteady on their feet. Will pull sometime, she also seems like she wants to bolt—not from fear so much or skittish
more a need to hide—I don’t know if that makes any sense–she kept wanting to pull into the deep side of the road.do not think she has ever been hit, not afraid of hands—-but when walking, I hold my leash in my left hand by the dog and lose in my right hand—the right end was hanging a little out of my hand and I could see her glance over at it ( move it as to not distract her)
when we got back to the office she wanted to go in right away. I made her sit with me for awhile and just be pet all over her body.
She does not limp any more ( vet record said she came in with a injury)
a few gray hairs, but nothing like Miss Em—-how did they decide her age?
she goes to her kennel without a problem
She barks at the kennel; but I have yet to hear her bark
She is just confused I think
We walked past two Shepherds barking at her and she glanced–just glanced-at them and sniffed at a post then kept walking
she had to walk through the grooming room on her way to the kennels and did not pay any attention to the three dogs there.
She will need a person with lots of one on one time to reassure her she is ok
she is in good shape, not thin
Will see her on Thursday—anything you want me to look for?
I have the vet records from Fairbanks North star animal shelter and North Pole Vet Hosp ( yes –North Pole)
I wonder if it was their other dog 47 lb or Zelda 60 lb who was the “grumpy dog”
Remember I said she was very apprehensive toward the other dogs out in the play yard—NOT AGGRESSIVE
my puppy is very playful and would not be the best dog to try and see how she would get along—but he is beyond friendly—so should I try bringing Quincy to meet Zelda?
She must be so very confused, she is not hyper , not a tv remote eater—-just a nice dog—-I did have her in a prong collar, but she did not seem to pull
I wish I had a home, I would bring her with me; but my friend is being very cool with two cats and a dog

From: 4dales@gmail.com
Well Mr. Hudson was neutered yesterday and did very well :)) But Dr. Waite told me that he showed some aggression towards their ceramic cat that they have in their waiting room. Well it is an ugly figurine I don’t blame him but kitties maybe an issue. He also received his microchip and I have the paperwork for that. I would be happy to register him but I need to know what information I should put down, addresses, ph #’s etc.
I hope to take him out tomorrow for a walk (weather permitting) can’t wait to see the guy.

Pat will mail vet records to Cprange

Update from Chris
Yes, he is confirmed HW positive, after the second test.
“a low burden load” they told her this afternoon.
Per Gale Ford when I asked her about the HW situation as explained by Chris in note above

I would put him on heart guard and retest in 1- 3 months. Sometimes we get a positive and there is only a single adult worm or oddly enough only the single sex infrection. Downside is he might need to be treated in future, but I Would definitely NOT treat at this time.
Heading to Auburn this week for CE leaving on Wed back on Monday. Going to visit Sue (really, Gale, what are you doing.)
