BRISTOL IN ILLINOIS 26 AUGUST 2012

Gayle Kiesow writes: Please meet 3.5-year-old Bristol, who is neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations & housebroken. Bristol is currently with a vet in southern Illinois who refused to put him to sleep when he was brought into her clinic. She has gotten his skin issues under control with allergy meds and is ready to hand him off to CRUSA. Bristol needs a foster home who is willing to comply with the following needs, according to his vet: Besides his allergies and being slightly low thyroid (part of his skin package), I know of no other health concerns he has or has ever had. We transitioned him from oral & injectable steroids to Atopica; he seems to be doing well on it. He is on 50 mg Atopica daily, 0.4 mg levothyroxine twice daily, a grain-free lamb & rice food (Taste of the Wild), Trifexis monthly and is bathed sporadically in a hydrocortisone-type shampoo. Luckily for Bristol, Cheryl Frommelt has volunteered to foster him. Stay tuned for further updates here. HEATHER IN CO: How lucky he was to have such a great caring vet! Glad he is safe; he looks so cute. On 30 August, Dr. Adams writes: Was very sad to see our fella pull off with my parents tonight . . . he kept looking out the window at me. I love that little guy, but he needs the stimulation of a good home/family. Really thinking that he will do well with any family. I would have kept him myself had I not already had four of my own and the work demands here that keeps me from having good quality time with my own furry family. He had a bath in Dermalone shampoo Tuesday evening and I cleaned his teeth, performed a HW test & microchipped him Wednesday. He appears to have recovered completely from the anesthesia and should be ready to go.

BRISTOL GOES HOME 20 OCTOBER 2012
Shell Lewis writes: Little Bristol was literally on death row when his downstate Illinois owners took him into their vet to be euthanized because of severe allergies. But Dr. Melissa Adams was so taken by the little dog's happy disposition that she decided to give him a second chance; we're so glad she did! Through steroid treatments, a special diet & baths, Bristol slowly improved and was eventually transferred to CRUSA.
Today, Bristol is in his new home with dad, Van Ewing II, and a new Parsons Russel brother named Miles.
A big CRUSA thank you for Cheryl Frommelt & her family for fostering Bristol; to Beige Wihart on our reference team; and to Faith Hart who conducted the home inspection.
