Lewey 04-071 [1]

Lewey is a puppy mill Golden Retriever from Missouri. He came to Minneapolis with 2 brothers, Hewey 04-069 and Dewey. Lewey and his brother Dewey are currently being treated for Juvenile Cellulitis (puppy strangles). JC is NOT contagious and the symptoms are usually noticed in puppies 4 weeks to 4 months of age and lasting approximately 2 weeks. The darkness around his nose and eyes are some of the symptoms of JC. There are no long term effects besides localized hair loss - in some cases. Lewey's treatment is 1/2 tablet of prednisone and 1 capsule of cephalexin every 12 hours. He will be going to the vet for a follow-up appointment this weekend.

We are in the process of potty training Lewey. We crate him at night and during the day while we are away from home.

Lewey is very intelligent and has a sweet disposition. He knows his name and usually comes when called (he is after all still a baby). Lewey is energetic and likes to follow his foster brother around the house. He LOVES the snow and makes the cutest snow angels (puppy style). Lewey is a cuddler and is content to lay in our laps for quite a while.
