Wicket 18-010-D  ADOPTION PENDING |
Wicket is a very sweet boy who came to NASAP is very rough shape. He was very sick and dirty - his ears have severe infections so prologned that there was a signfiicant amount of scar tissue that had built up. This infection was caused by years of untreated ear infections and made him 90% deaf. We rushed him to the vet and they did immediate surgery on his right ear to remove a large mass. His ears were cleaned thoroughly and steriod injections were given to reduce the swelling. Since Thanksgiving weekend he has been on ear drops to help clean and reduce the infection in his ears. He is on a limited ingredient diet to reduce inflammation and prevent further ear infections. He had a second round of steriod injections on Oct 25th and we are still waiting for swelling to reduce further. He is also going to see a dermatology specialist in January to ensure he is in the best health possible. We dont want his ear infections to go untreated ever again.
He is a super sweetheart and snuggle buddy! He LOVEs going for walks and walks great on a leash. He loves playing with his stuffed animals and playing gentle tug of war. His owl is his favourite and he snuggles up to it when he takes a break from play. He would love a family who is home majority of the time but he is also great being left on his own. He is completely house trained and has free run of his foster home without concern. He loves to play with other dogs and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. He does like to hump occassionally and his foster family is working on training.
