Story
Gunther is a super senior we pulled from MACC and are so happy we did! This guy is so spry for 15 and loves to do zoomies and is great with most other dogs! High energy ones can be a little much for this senior guy, but the more chill ones he is great with. He also seems good around cats, loves a good car ride, and loves a yard to mosey around in! We did learn at his vet appointment that Gunther is Heartworm positive but, because of his age, we won't be doing the conventional treatment as it would be too tough on him. So we will be killing off those boogers with his Heartworm prevention each month. His heart and lungs do sound good though! He also may have an autoimmune disease which we would also probably not treat due to his age because he is in otherwise great shape and eats well enough though he does have bad teeth. The vet did not recommend sedating Gunther unless it was an emergency. He also has some arthritis but still is very active and is learning how to be a dog which we love to see! We also learned he is not neutered but has one testicle on the outside that is very small and the other is inside but the vet doesn't believe it is negatively affecting him. Despite his age and the fact that we think Gunther was literally just left outside his entire life, he is extremely good natured and is doing so well! He can be a little resource guarding but we are learning what those high value things are and he can be pretty good at redirecting and trading which is great! We are also working on some pain management with him but we know he doesn't like his tail end or his head messed with and can give verbal warnings, etc when that happens, but seems great with pets on the torso and really is just happy in a yard or to chill in the sunshine!October 29, 2024, 3:11 pm
