Meet Ernie!

ERNIE

AGE: To come 

​

BREED: Chihuahua Mix 


SEX: M


BACKGROUND: Sweet little Ernie came to us from the same overcrowded shelter as Alyssa. He was in the process of getting evaluated for neutering when the vets noticed a heart murmur. Well, that led to testing and noting that he has an underlying condition that is causing his red blood cells to break down. We aren't sure what that is quite yet but we do know that he is, sadly, heartworm positive. We are hopeful that it's not this disease that's causing him issues. We'll know more when we get him to our vet for further evaluation and testing.

 

He is not ready yet, but we're hoping that with diagnosis there will be a treatment (aside from treating his heartworm disease, if that's not the underlying cause) that will get him back on the road to health. So, more to come on sweet little Ernie, whose foster says he's just the sweetest little guy!!! We gotchya' buddy, no worries now.
