Kenny's Vet Check ....

[kimlovescats]

Great news, Kenny is Heartworm NEGATIVE!!!! He is also even intestinal worm NEGATIVE!!! I am so relieved!!!! Maybe his previous owners did do more for him than it seemed. Whatever the case, I am so thrilled that he is in good shape. The only thing is his ears are very dirty and have a yeast infection. I am to clean them twice daily for a week and see if that helps. Other than that and the fact that he is 8 years old, he is in good health!
Oh, and he weighs 84 lb. 4 oz. !

A few pictures of him enjoying his indoor life:









My little girl Sassy likes him, they are beginning to develop a friendship!

Good News, Kim! Jack had terrible ear infections when we got him and all it took was keeping them clean to go away. I too think this dog is a keeper! Goldens are the best.

That's wonderful! That last icture is really sweet. You said he was "enjoying his indoor life"...was he an outdoor dog before?

Yes, he lived his entire life outdoors which isn't a bad thing, but I don't think he got much attention ... he is about 8 years old. When I went to pick him up, he was alone in a fenced lot that was about 3 feet high in grass / weeds. His "owners" had moved to Florida and left him behind. He has pressure calluses on both elbows from lying down outdoors for so many years. We fixed him a nice backyard covered area with a brand new doghouse in case he couldn't adjust to the indoor life. Welp, that doghouse has yet to be "used"!

Oh Kim, what a great day it is for you and Kenny!!!! I'm so happy that neither of you have to deal with a heartworm problem. Whew!!!!

You know, when our Zipper arrived at our home, he was estimated to be around 8 or 9 years old. What a perfect age!!! He was so gentle and good and so happy to be surrounded by a family who loved him. And we did love him, immediately, even if he was meant to be a foster dog.........couldn't do that for long, you know. I miss him so terribly these days. We just didn't have enough time with him. Cancer took his life in May of this year.

Hug Kenny for me and thank you for loving him. You have just met your best friend, for life, Kim.

Thank you, Logan! I do love Kenny, it was almost instantly! I can't imagine any "better" dog than he is! He is already so devoted to me, and I can tell he loves me so much and appreciates that I want to make him happy. I pray that he can live a long and healthful life here with us. How old was your Zipper when he passed? I'm so sorry to hear about his recent passing.

The only thing is his ears are very dirty and have a yeast infection.

Kim this is wonderful news!! Bella has battled yeast infections in her ears and we finally won the battle but I have to be very diligent to stay on top of her (poodles have ear fuzz which has to be pulled out which adds to the problem).

I think Kenny looks a lot like Zipper (like he is wearing little white *glasses* around his eyes. ) He sounds like he is the perfect dog for your family. I hope to hear and see lots more of this boy in the future and more pictures like the one below too would certainly be appreciated! How absolutely precious is that!!!!

Another thing you can do for yeast infections is take a little bit of plain yogurt and put it in the ear and work it around. My holistic vet suggested this for Kloe.

Yayy Kenny!! I'm glad to hear your test results are good and that you're making friends with your new sister, Sassy. D
