CLAIR

Description

Clair is a female dog urgently in need of a rescue, foster, or adopter who can provide advanced veterinary care and support.Clair is in critical medical condition with multiple significant health concerns. She has an extremely distended abdomen, severe dental disease, a grade IV/VI heart murmur, bilateral lenticular sclerosis, crusting along her back and thighs, and two cauliflower-like growths on her head.Radiographs obtained under sedation revealed multiple large urinary bladder stones (uroliths) and an enlarged liver (hepatomegaly). An abdominal centesis was performed with negative results. These findings raise significant concerns for underlying systemic disease requiring further investigation.Clair will require urgent veterinary evaluation, advanced diagnostics, cardiac assessment, and potentially surgical intervention to address her bladder stones and other medical conditions. Her complex medical needs and critical condition exceed what we can provide in the shelter environment.Clair is at risk for euthanasia due to her critical medical condition, multiple underlying health concerns, and need for advanced diagnostics and specialized veterinary treatment beyond what we can provide in the shelter.If you are interested in helping Clair, please email dasadopt@dallas.gov with your contact information so we can call you back.
