Stella the Sweet Bella of Los Banos Shelter

Posted on October 25, 2017 by Elizabeth Mazzetti

Meet a sweet senior girl who is in the shelter in Los Banos, CA. We have had our eyes on 22688046_2150782154947446_7907787058762894315_n her, and she is available to pull today. She has a tentative diagnosis of Cushing’s Disease, really bad skin, as well as ear and eye issues. The staff is reporting that she is a “super sweet girl”, who just wants someone to take her home and love her (staffs words.) She is a female Cocker Spaniel. She is a buff color, but has black around eyes, which may be related to the Cushing’s Disease. She will need lots of TLC, a full medical assessment, including blood work and skin scrapings for analysis. She will also need medication for the Cushing’s, and an eye check at a specialist to rule 22788985_2150782571614071_2292364608387290409_n out Glaucoma. She has obviously had her medical needs neglected for a very long time. Poor girl! We are asking for your help to assess and treat her! It will be a long road ahead, but with meds and lots of love, she should recover nicely!

PUPDATE: We have made the arrangements and will be pulling her today. Her foster family has named her Stella. She will be fully checked by our vet and might need to be spayed too. Thanks for your love and support! We will keep everyone posted!

Love, Stella and SCCR
