Clooney is an 8-year-old black male born April 2004. He arrived from the same source as Stetson, Onyx, Blade, Cupcake, Harry and Carbon, Timex, Stewart and Charity. Unfortunately Clooney, like the nine others, is heartworm positive, and he is carrying a heavy load of intestinal parasites. He also arrived with a huge oval 3"x2" open wound on his left haunch which is at least 1 1/2" deep. He has a large seroma on his right side along with several scrapped areas as well. Clooney is being monitored closely in an emergency foster home; the wound is not capable of being closed at this time. Results from the tick panel performed by Protatek are pending at this time. Clooney is tattooed; however his tattoos are being researched.

Clooney has not yet been tested with cats or small animals.

UPDATE 4/10/12

Clooney's wounds healed up sufficiently for him to start his first round of heartworm treatment on February 21. His second round of treatment was administered on March 21 and March 22. He is being kept very quiet in his foster home until he can be retested on approximately May 25.
