Meet the Chipmunks...Alvin, Jeanette, Brittany and Eleanor

We received a note from a local shelter telling us about a litter of 7-week old pups that needed help. Yes, they are quite a sight right now but they are all, otherwise, healthy, happy, tail wagging kids. Our volunteer ran in to the shelter and gathered them up and off they went to Pacific Coast Veterinary Clinic for treatment and lots of love. They were diagnosed with demodex which is now being treated. When healed, they will be made available for adoption.

We have named them after the Chipmunks with Alvin and the Chipettes - Jeanette, Brittany and Eleanor. We won't go into the treatment schedule but they are on antibiotics for the skin, antibiotic eye drops for the eyes which are swollen shut, and medicated baths.  Their skin is wrinkled due to this infestation but will smooth out and look better with treatment. We currently have two little blonde girls and a golden boy and girl. Eleanor is the biggest of all the gang with Brittany the smallest.
