Prince

Description

Prince found himself at an overfull shelter in Lousiville, KY after being picked up as a stray.  We received some back story on him through mutual contacts and learned his real name so we kept that :)  After his stray hold was up at the shelter, we were able to get him moved straight to the vet clinic to start medications for an upper respiratory infection.  Once he is feeling better, we will get the rest of his routine vetting done, get bloodwork run, and get him scheduled for neuter surgery and microship implant.  We know that Prince formerly lived with a younger Boxer boy (his son) and he dog tested well at the shelter.  We don't yet how he is with kids and he has not been cat tested.  With everyone at the shelter, with his trasnsport driver and with everyone at the clinic, he has been very very sweet! 7/8 UPDATE:  After a longer than anticipated stay at the clinic due to Prince coming down with pneumonia, he is finally feeling better and was cleared for neuter surgery today!  He did amazing and also had a dental and had a bump removed that will be sent out for pathology.  We are working on getting him to his Illinois foster home this weekend!!!7/29 UPDATE....Prince is all settled into his foster home and after a couple of trips back to the vet for more antibiotics he is FINALLY getting rid of that cough.  We also learned that he not only gulps his food down, he also does it with water...and then it all comes back up. A slow feeder bowl is a must and foster mom has started putting ice cubes in his water and that has slowed down his drinking.
