Arctic German Shepherd Rescue

So many muddy muddy dogs with all this rain! But Poppy is enjoying it, she is enjoying it sooooooooOOOooooo much! So lucky her, it's another flipping rainy day 😒🤣🌧🌧🤣😒

Rainy Morning Shenanigans 🤣

Let the daily shenanigans begin ❤️🐾🐾❤️

Just spending a quiet Saturday night at home with Poppy 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 THIS has been going on for HOURS!! New squeaky toys on the Rescue's wishlist might have to be removed until further notice! THANKS Suzie, thanks A Lot🤣🤪🤣

I remember the first time I saw Pacino's prancing pony trot. I thought it was super cute, but then I knew it was because of his brain damage. It's still super cute, and Pacino is having the time of his life. He doesn't know just how cute and special he is. I love this boy!! ❤️❤️

No goggles needed this morning for Pacino. Enjoy the snow, Fairbanks. It's really coming down after I shot this earlier. 🤣❄️❄️🤣

Wakey wakey Wicket. Wicket can you hear me...hellooooOOOoooo Wicket. Wicket you are a Malinois get up and show us your greatness 🤣😴😴🤣 It's always adorable when dogs snore, people NOT so much🤣

Pacino received 2 different types of goggles from Jessica and France, thank you both so very much. These are Rex Specs. With his dilated eye condition, for comfort, he will need goggles whenever it is bright outside. It's great that he will have different types to get him used to wearing them. Thank you all who have helped him ❤️❤️❤️

Pacino received lots of love today via Amazon from his supporters!! Thank you all so very much!❤️❤️❤️ it's awesome to see all the love❤️

Deeogee got his ball stuck on a broken tree. He sure didn't try very hard to get it unstuck.🤣 Deeogee and other awesome dogs who are available can be found on the rescue's website at Agsrescue.com An approved application needs to be on file before you can arrange a visit

Pacino is slowly starting to get back to his shenanigans ❤️ He has a few more quicks that still need to heal/create a hard shell(nail). All his nails came off, leaving the quick exposed. Hopefully, now he'll be in remission. Below is some information about what he has and his treatment moving forward. ❤️ Symmetric Lupoid Onychodystrophy Treatment Treatment is usually very safe, but it takes several months to appreciate a response to therapy due to the slow growth of a claw in the dog. Expect treatment to be life-long. If treatment is discontinued, the dog will have recurrence. Tetracycline or doxycycline with niacinamide is one option. Supplemental omega 3 (and omega 6) fatty acids are usually a cornerstone of treatment. Biotin may be given orally with meals for nail strengthening properties. Pentoxifylline has been used adjunctively, with variable results. More aggressive treatments with glucocorticoids, azathioprine,cyclosporine or onychectomy are rarely prescribed. Diligent claw treatment and paw hygiene recommended. Diets enhanced with fatty acids are sometimes utilized when pets are reluctant to take oral fatty acid supplementation or need additional sources. SLO is a very clinical diagnosis supported by confirmatory tests. If you are a veterinarian with a possible case, consider the diagnostic work up and treatment.
