PUG RESCUE & ADOPTION VICTORIA INC.

26/3/10 -Frankie Update 11

Frankie saw his vet, Kent from Knox Vet clinic, today.  Another skin scraping was performed and there were no mites to be found. 

 After two months of treatment with antibiotics Frankie has no signs of infection. Antibiotics have now been discontinued.  We will continue with the daily dose of 1.8ml of Moxidectine orally for at least the next two months. 

The daily Cyclosporine eye drops also seem to be doing their job. The pigmentary keratitis (brown scarring caused by the eye injuries) in both of Frankie’s eyes has not spread and may even be decreasing. 

In two months time we will reassess Frankie’s health.  At this time we will make a decision about when he can be desexed and have his eye openings reduced, which will help prevent any further injuries occuring to his eyes .

18/3/10 -Frankie Update 10

Frankie skin and eyes continue to improve. He still has scabs/injuries across the top part of his head that may never regrow hair, due to his skin being to damaged. But this boy has proven so many people wrong over the past two months that anything is possible.

Frankie is an absolutely delightful, 8 month old, young man who is learning to be a lovely pug with the help of his older puggy friends.

3/3/10 -Frankie Update 9

Frankie is continuing to grow hair and his eyes also continuing to heal. Along with his new hair and healing eyes he gains an extra dose of naughtiness each day. Pulling on pants legs, stealing doorstops, chewing up newspaper, hanging off curtains and digging holes in the garden beds. When he is not busy being naughty he likes to lap up his daily cup of China Jasmine Green Tea.

Last week Frankie saw his vet who performed another skin scraping in which there was only one dead mite.  He also visited his eye specalist who has now prescribed some cyclosporin drops to try and reduce some of the pigmentary keratitis (brown scaring) which has formed due to the eye injuries.
