More information:
This is what my volunteer who picked her up has to say about her, QUOTE: ? I can tell you again what I know.
I was told she will not pee unless she is UNDER something. Coffee table, building etc. I was told the person felt it was because she lived under a house. My guess, because she came from a breeder who likely kept her in a kennel. I can tell you that a bath with cool water and cortisone shampoo and being in a very cool room, stopped her from scratching for hours. I have cortisone lotion for our Bostons who are itchy but she had so many open sores I was afraid to use it on her . The shampoo was the only medicated thing she had with me. I found out she was taken home by an ACO there who takes pretty dogs when she wants one and then takes them back when she feels like it. She took the dog home for 4 months. One of the other ACO's went by her house and saw the dog living outside! and saw her skin. She was living much of the time outside so says because she was not house trained. She fussed about her condition and she ended up asking Bret to take her. He kept her for a month and did not take her to a vet! This baby will blossom with some decent care. Thank God she is an ABTR baby now. She is a good girl. Just keep her very cool. Give her lots of love. She is a lover.
1. She was living outside UNDER a house. (over 4 months that I KNOW of) It is very hot here now. Over 90 degrees.
2. She had fleas. Quite a bit of them but not the worse case I've seen.
3. She was eating low cost food. (had Blue Buffalo here)
4. She had NO vet care for at least 6 month but probably longer.
5. She has had too many pups
6. She is pure bred.
7.She has had at least 3 different homes and was at the pound for a time in the last 6 months!!! Then my house one day and now with you. She has got to be so confused. END OF QUOTE
Wanda's notes: Everyone that has met this sweet baby has fallen in love with her dispite her condition. Our volunteer Jim wanted to foster her so I sent her on home with him when I met him to pick up the other 5 dogs that were incoming on the transport with her. After Jim gets her vetted he will provide more info on her.
She will be with us at least 2 months if not more due to her condition. Thanks.

More information:
Izzy's foster mom Amy will write up a description soon. Izzy is doing well and his seizures seem to be under control on his new medications. We have taken care of the swelling under his neck. That was a salivary gland issue which we have taken care of with surgery. Izzy was too fat when we got him. We have had him on a diet and he has lost some weight and is looking better.
Izzy is a happy guy and just wants to be loved. He cannot help that he has a disorder that causes him to have seizures. Due to his siezures, we prefer to place Izzy in an only dog home.
