Baguette

Meet Baguette! This nibbly boy transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society!<br/>Baguette was found as a stray and taken to a local vet. He was picked up by Humane Law Enforcement not long after and taken to SDHS. <br/>He had been there a month prior where he was secluded due to his kennel stress and was on anxiety medications. They were working to address his health concerns when we took over. <br/>His previous owner must have left him outdoors as he had healing fly bites on his ears, corneal scarring on his left eye, healing scrapes on his lower back, and was underweight.<br/>During his time with us we weaned him off his anxiety medications, his skin has improved, and we continue to work on the cause of his gastrointestinal upset. <br/>Health implications aside, Baguette has been an energetic busy bee with his new friends, loves to nibble on the staff's fingers, and is such a ball of joy!<br/><br/>Health considerations: Baguette still has consistent blood in his stools and a thickened and inflamed colon. We have conducted a series of blood, parasite, fungal, and other specialty tests, all of which were negative. We are working through changes to his prescribed diet, had two ultrasounds conducted, and have been referred to and seen an internist. <br/>The next step in addressing his health concerns is steroidal therapy, which is he currently on through the month of February. If blood in his stool persists at the conclusion, a colonoscopy and biopsy will be next. <br/>Additionally, Baguette has permanent corneal scarring on his left eye. This does not greatly affect his eyesight as it is rather small. <br/>Please note that Baguette is not available until he has a diagnosis and treatment/management plan. <br/><br/>Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.
