May 11, 2017

6/5/13: Baxter was found stray in Pell City, AL last week. His stray hold was up today and once again we had a driver waiting there waiting for him. Megan took him from Pell City, AL to meet Dawn in Oxford, AL. Now he and Dawn are on their way to Riverside Animal Hospital. He is heartworm negative and he is five years old. He is not neutered yet… but he will be soon. We will have more updates after Dr Ross has time to give him a full exam. Thank you Megan and Dawn for getting Baxter to safety!

Update 6/18/13: Baxter was neutered today. He will move to his foster home soon.

Update 6/25/13: Baxter went his foster home on Saturday. He seems to have some sort of pain in his knee so we will have a visit with Dr Cross next week for a consult.

Update 12/19/15: Baxter’s owner has become ill and can no longer care for Baxter so have welcomed him back to GEBR. We are currently treating an ear and skin infection. He has also developed dry eye and we started giving him tacrolimus for dry eye.
