 Thunder
is a Yorkshire terrier who was found sitting in a road in a thunderstorm.
Some people took him in, and brought him to us the next day.
Thunder was in poor condition when he arrived. He was full of fleas and
immediately got a bath and some flea medicine. We thought he was blind,
although it turned out he had eye infections and also dry eye, but at
least he still has most of his vision. He had heartworms, and had not yet been
neutered, so we had him neutered as soon as he finished his heartworm
treatment. He is also very old, and he has been put on a
special diet.
At first we nicknamed him Snapper, because he bit almost everyone who
handled him, including Lou Ann. But he has relaxed a lot and is doing much better. He runs
and plays in the yard now, and he doesn't bite anymore.
Recently Thunder had surgery on his eyes. It turned out that some of his
vision problems were caused by ingrown eyelashes. He is doing well after
the surgery.
