Description:
From the Veterinarian:Simba was surrendered with a generalized skin infection and bilateral ear infections. These conditions can take quite a long time to heal! So here we are 5 months later, and he is finally looking normal! It is recommended that an adopter take him to their regular family vet to establish a relationship right away because he must stay on a special prescription diet for now, no TREATS, or unapproved food, his skin condition was likely due to food allergies. The big bag of dry he will need sells for $149 and a case is $56. We understand that this is pricey, but it goes a long way. He will also need once a week special shampoo baths at home. These will also be enjoyable to Simba to keep his skin clean and healthy. As long as an adopter maintains a good relationship with their regular vet and stays on a strict diet, he can continue to live a comfortable, happy life without more skin and ear infections.Now that his medical needs are explained, you should know that he is a loving, sweet boy, once he trusts you and is comfortable. His former owners said he lived around kids and was a good boy, but any new adopter needs to be cautious of scary situations or bold toddlers that might frighten him before he is comfortable being around them. He had always lived indoors with his former humans, and seems to be pretty well house trained. He should not be adopted by someone who is a first time dog parent. once he settles in to a new home, no doubt he'll make someone very happy.
