Money the Frenchbulldog feels a million bucks thanks to you
Money is a five-year-old French bulldog, who was surrendered to Lort Smith Animal Hospital when his previous carers moved overseas. He had itchy skin, inflamed ears and some spinal issues, which required a long course of treatment.
Money was diagnosed with generalised atopic skin disease, a skin condition caused by allergies, which in turn lead to an infection in both ears called otitis externa. This caused so much swelling and discomfort for Money that he needed two weeks of anti-inflammatory and antibiotic medication before the vets could even see into his ears.
Money was prescribed steroids, bathed with a medicated shampoo to help his skin and started a prescription diet specially formulated to support dogs with skin and food sensitivities. While his skin improved, his ear canals were still swollen and sore. A CT scan of Money’s head showed extensive ear damage requiring immediate treatment with an antibiotic and steroid solution, made in-house at Lort Smith.
Within a few weeks, Money’s ears were looking much healthier and the infection was clearing. He was also lucky to have an amazing foster carer, Emily, to support him through all his surgeries and recovery, and eventually adopted him!
She will need to continue providing special ongoing care for Money’s ear and skin condition, but we know he’ll be in good hands! Money is now feeling a million bucks thanks to the combined efforts of Lort Smith staff and volunteers, and our generous donors.
