MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – An 8 years of age dog will lose his life when a Whitewater rescue shelter brought him in. Now, Clyde is on his method to healing.
Albert’s Dog Lounge particularly wants to help senior and unique requirements dogs. When Clyde’s previous owner connected for help, creator Mandy Lewis instantly got on the chance.
The 8 years of age bully breed was brought into the shelter with infections all over his body, almost no fur and a running fever.
“Bully Breeds are specifically prone to having allergies,” Lewis said. “Unfortunately, this was a case that just got completely out of control.”
Clyde is lucky he’s still alive.
“Had this kept going on for very much longer, it could have cost him his life,” Lewis said.
It will take months prior to Clyde go back to regular, however in just a couple of days under Lewis’ care, Clyde’s condition is already enhancing.
“He looks 100% better today than he even did four days ago,” Lewis said. “It is daily medicated baths. We’re talking he has to sit for 15 minutes with medicated shampoo… it’s going to be keeping his skin healthy. And then once he gets ready for adoption, then we need to make a decision on his future.”
A choice about his future home may be hard for Lewis to make.
“I’ll be completely honest, I’m very in love with Clyde, so if he turns out to be a good fit, there’s a good possibility he may stay in my home forever,” Lewis said. “But our goal is always to see them get a good home.”
Lewis said she values the neighborhood’s assistance up until now in assisting Clyde.
