I am cured and happy to be in a
foster home. I lost a little weight when I was being
treated but I am eating and getting my physique back. I am
tall man, weighing around 95 lbs, 3 to 4 years old. I
am that Fox Red that people love. I love all the doggies
around the house even the baby dog that barks at me, I just
ignore her. I am housebroken, crate trained, I could
probably be left of the crate but my foster parents don't
know that. If I try to jump on them they say no and I being
the good boy I am obey, I only do that when I first see
them. I am up to date on my shots, heartworm negative and
ready to find my new home. I would be better with kids 5
and above, not because I am wild, I am a grown man not a
kid, but because I am so tall that I may not see the little
ones. As one might say I am a gentle giant. Take me home
and let me love you, you won't be sorry!PS I ignore cats too!
Chevy is a large yellow lab (95 lbs) around 3-4 with a
beautiful otter tail. His color is called fox red. He came from
a shelter in Cushing when his time was up. He likes dogs
and ignores cats. He walks well on a leash.
Chevy has been diagnosed with ehrlichiosis, a tropical tick
disease that attacks the white blood cells and is transmitted
most commonly by the lonestar tick (tick with white spot) and
the brown dog/wood tick. Ehrlicia is becoming increasingly
common in this part of the country and is fatal if untreated.
The symptoms are not very obvious and are often mistaken for
other diseases - loss of appetite, depression, tired with
diminished interest in play, glassy eyes (bloodshot looks like
the dog has been on a drinking bender) and anorexia, vomiting of
bile or diarrhea. Ehrlichiosis can be diagnosed with a
simple $15 snap test at your vet. Ticks are carriers of
many diseases like ehrlichiosis, rocky mountain spotted fever,
lyme disease, tularemia and tick paralysis that can be
transmitted to dogs or people. Make sure that you apply a tick
preventative on your pets and use a bug repellent on yourself -
especially when hiking or camping.
Chevy will make a FULL recovery and is available for
adoption.
