Kaia

My story

Meet Kaia! Kaia was found as a stray. She was taken to Arizona Humane due to a growth in her ear. After assessing Arizona Humane felt they could not take on her medical. Well, we had no problem helping her! Kaia was picked up and taken to her foster home. She needed to see a vet ASAP! We needed to know what to do for her ear and we noticed the other ear was also infected. After getting some antibiotics and pain medication we set up a time to get her ear looked at. She would need to be sedated for this. She would not let anyone near her ears. This didn't happen overnight. This was years of ear infections that went untreated. Kaia had a procedure that removed her entire ear canal and her ear. This was the only way we could stop the infections. It was a tough recovery. She wouldn't take her medication and because there was already infection in her ear she struggled. Two doctors visits and a stay at the emergency vet FINALLY fixed this little lady! Well we thought we were all done! Kaia's other ear started acting up just as she finished healing. We scheduled her for another procedure. She is now had both ears done. The good news is she will never have another ear infection. She is now hearing impaired. She can hear some tones but that is it. They also removed her ears. Kaia doesn't let that stop her! She is moving on and feeling good! She is a total love bug! She likes to chew on her bones. Chill in her dog bed and watch a little TV with her foster parents. She walks on a leash. She is good with other dogs and cats. She actually loves to play with cat toys HA HA! She is such a good dog! Kaia spayed, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and 4DX (tick/heartworm test) negative. Kaia is approximately 4 years old and weigh 48 pounds.
