beau 13yr

Beau is fostered in Mentor Oh and his adoption fee/donation is 150
Hi there, my name is B0-Bo, and I am a 12-13 yr old cocker spaniel boy. We are just guestimating his age per our vet, because we don’t know his history. He was originally found as a stray, so we can only do our best at telling his correct number in years. One thing we do know, is that he was not properly cared for most of his life. His ear canals are hardened, and closed up from such horrific infection. Our vet worked on his ears for months to finally get them free of infection. He is completely DEAF from the un-treated ear infections. He actually would do best if he could get the TECA surgery, however we have already spent thousands to get him cleared up. The cost of surgery for both ears is $5,000, and we tried to raise the funds to get it done, however we were unable to do it. We were able to get $1500 raised, and used it to treat the ears for the months it took to get them cleared.
The problem with not getting the TECA surgery (REMOVING HIS EAR CANALS) done is that with closed canals, his infections can easily come back, and will continue to do so in the future. We are currently flushing his ears daily with Liquid Health K9 ear cleansing solution, and so far, he is still infection free, but we have to be very consistent with daily flushing.
BoBo is such a happy go lucky dog, he lives for his ball, and will wear out your arm from throwing it to him all day if you let him. He is affectionate and loving, and enjoys spending time with his person. BoBo is also on thyroid medication, he was very overweight when we took him in, and found out he is hypo-thyroid. A few months on the meds and he lost all the excess weight. We would LOVE to find a retirement home for this boy, he is so good, and deserves to be loved and cared for.
BoBo is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, as well as heartworm negative.
