11/8 update: pledges are up to $815 now but still no word on any rescue plan for him yet :-(
11/7/09: Black Chow A1068032 has until early next week, possibly Tuesday, to be rescued and given a loving comfortable life for his remaining years, or he will be put to death. He has $715 in pledges. There is no rescuer for him yet. Alicia Esken wrote: PLEASE HELP SAVE THIS SENIOR CHOW. HIS OWNER ABUSED HIM BY NEGLECTING HIS CARE AND HE IS IN NEED OF SOME MEDICAL ATTENTION. PLEASE DON'T CONTINUE TO LET HIM SUFFER. HE DESERVES TO HAVE A WARM BED AND SOME LOVE AND ATTENTION!
Update 11/7 from Alicia Esken aesken@earthlink.net. Alicia is keeping track of donor pledges. Contact her to pledge! So far, pledges total $715 this morning 11/7. That is the amount to be contributed to the rescue organization who steps up for this boy. There is no rescuer who has stepped up for A1068032 yet. Alicia wrote Saturday 7 November that Whitney (GWTWSCRLTT@aol.com) "has met him he is very quiet and would be very easy to care for. He was shaved down- looks like his eyes are a bit runny but might be a little cold. He looks like he would be happy to just sit on a back porch in the sun and enjoy sleeping now that he is not being attacked by flies!"

This DOG - ID#A1068032
I am a neutered male, black Chow Chow.
The shelter thinks I am about 12 years old.
I have been at the shelter since Oct 03, 2009.
dog impound by oficer severe fly strike poss. mange on rearend madded hair..........
MEDICAL:
1) The pet had alopecia (hair loss) with pink skin visible, and raw, scabby areas (ulcerations) on the tips of both ears. The pet's tail was devoid of hair and had a "rat-tail" appearance.
2) There was generalized matting of the haircoat and hyperkeratosis (flaking or dandruff) of the skin as well.
3) Both eyes had a mucoid discharge coming from them.
4) This pet appeared to be somewhat underweight. His BCS (Body Condition Score) was approximately 3.5 out 0f 9, where 1= extremely emaciated and 5 = normal. The teeth were quite worn in front, probably due to age. No fleas were noted.
Diagnostics and Treatment:
the pet was sedated and shaved. Sedation was deemed necessary because the pet was aggressive on the initial examination and tried to bite. The pet was placed on oral antibiotics to treat the ear ulceration (to treat skin infection) and a drug to help with pain and inflammation.
Conclusion: This pet was removed from the front porch of the guardian's residence because there were many flies swarming around the head of the pet. The hair loss and pink scar tissue as well as the ulcers on the ears are indicative of a condition of fly strike. Outdoor dogs are commonly attacked by biting flies swarming around the ears,
and one needs to apply a daily ointment to the ears to prevent this parasitization (attack by parasites). This pet's tail had no hair, which may have been caused by the pet chewing on its tail because of parasites, either flies or fleas. The Chow Chow breed needs to be groomed periodically, and this pet was matted and had not been groomed for a while. The guardian of this pet had allowed the dog to suffer with fly strike, a condition that was harmful to the pet causing pain and suffering. The ocular (eye) discharge and the unkempt haircoat were also evidence of neglect by the guardian.
