Noah

Update: 10/1/05

Noah is a 4½-year-old white and black male greyhound born January 2001. His registration tattoo is still being traced at this time. Noah was found along with Moses as strays on FM 1388 between Kaufman and Kemp, Texas, wandering with two plastic liter bottles filled with rocks tied to his tail and around his waist..a very sad sight indeed. Fortunately for both of these boys, they were picked up by a local resident, Donna and her husband, Mike, who are avid animal lovers. Noah and Moses are both heartworm positive, further medical tests are being conducted at this time. Noah is malnourished and very thin with numerous cuts and scrapes on his body, and an abscess on his right rear foot. As soon as these results are known, they will be posted here.

Update 10/1/05
Noah completed his second round of heartworm treatment on September 12, and is tolerating the procedure very well so far. His foster family is enjoying him very, very much, and says it is obvious he is feeling much better. It will be November 15 before he can be retested again to see if he is heartworm negative.

Noah was transported to Preston Park Animal Hospital on Saturday, August 6 in preparation for the first stage of his heartworm treatment. On Monday, August 8, Dr. Jeff Ellis administered the first injection. Noah will have to stay quiet and only can have very, very short leash walks in the back yard. He will go back around September 8 for his second treatment which entails two injections, one day apart. So it will be at least 75-90 days of treatment and convalescence for Noah.
