[Dailydrool] New Bounder-Poppy

[Wendie Prince]

Hi all,

We have taken in a new senior boy, named Poppy!  He is a Bagel, but mostly
Basset, in my eyes.  

He is settling in just great and gets along with everyone very well.  Delta
Burke is being a bit crabby towards him, but that is 

her way.  He came to us from a central FLA shelter,  some nice folks with
Suncoast Basset Rescue helped in getting him here. 

After a visit to the vet, we found out he has congestive heart failure,  his
heart is enlarged. We have started him on a few different meds to help and I
added in some CoQ10.    I think he is not coughing as much, but still hope
to get that improved.  You can see on his x-rays where his heart presses on
his trachea some.  He is so very sweet,  not sure how he ended up in animal
services, but we are lucky to get him.  The first few days he did not want
to stay inside and after finding him asleep outside when I woke up, we
decided to shut the dog door at night.  I guess he figured out it was ok to
be an inside hound as now he is more comfortable inside.  It broke my heart
to know he went out and curled up to sleep.  Now he is using the dog beds
and I hope enjoying some comfort he had lacked in his life.  

To sum up Poppy.the vet said to him,  "does your tail ever stop wagging?"  

That is our new boy.

 

 

Drool to all in need!
