Missy and Juno
Status Update 7/10/2011
Missy and Juno are two of our special dogs that stayed on the reservation. They
have a wonderful home with an older man that also has 2 cats - making up a happy
outgoing animal family. Missy's injuries have healed perfectly, and she has again
become the leader of the pack. She has a golden retriever personality and Juno adores
her and follows her every movement - inside and outside. Juno walked out of the
woods one day a puppy and decided Missy was his mother. Because of his mange, his
eyes still matt up (but not quite as much) and MIssy cleans them several times a
day. We suspect Juno is part wolf - explaining why he is not social - except with
the owner. There were wolfs introduced within 2 miles of the home. It would not
be possible to take Juno to a vet unless he was tranquilized so we had a vet come
to him - but is unable to draw blood, etc. The coat has improved, but not suficiently.
He is on his third month of the strong medicine needed. We inject the medicine into
a meatball to get him to take it. Some dogs have taken 6 months to heal from a prolonged
case of mange. However we are starting a diet of food for dogs with severe skin
allergies. We will keep you updated.

Juno will be starting an intense treatment for mange, it is dangerous because he
is Heartworm positive. Missy has had her mange cleared up but is still undergoing treatment for heartworm.
