Conrad

My story

Conrad is a 10 year pekingese mix who weighs 10lbs. He has had a rough time in his senior years and found himself at the Pasadena Animal Shelter in horrible condition. He was a matted mess with infected skin, an infection in his prostate (common in senior/unaltered males), terrible dental disease, a large gall stone and cataracts causing some mild vision impairment. After extensive vetting, Conrad is now on the road to recovery and feeling so much better. He is now neutered and has had his teeth cleaned. Most of them needed to be extracted but he does just fine with eating kibble and even enjoys chewing soft bones. He has been treated for his various infections and all are resolved. He is on medication for his gall stone indefinitely, but it is shrinking and the cost of these meds in not expensive. He will need to be on Denamarin and Ursodial for life (about $60 a month). Conrad spends a lot of time napping and also enjoys basking in the sun or roaming around the yard. He sees great in the daylight, but has difficulty seeing in the dark. A secure backyard without a pool would be best for Conrad. He is crate trained and mostly house trained but will occasionally mark. This is an easy fix with a belly band and will hopefully subside now that he is neutered. Consistent and predictable outside time will also help with house training. He is a happy guy most of the time but can sometimes be a bit ornery when he is woken up suddenly. We think he is probably not used to being able to trust his environment so he sometimes feels he needs to defend himself. He will growl out of fear, but has never bitten. Conrad simply needs a quiet place to rest and be loved for his remaining years. An adult only home would be best for Conrad. Conrad is heartworm positive but the cost of treatment will be covered by the rescue. Conrad is undergoing the slow kill method and has received a ProHeart-12 injection and 30 days of doxycycline.
