Daytona

Here is what foster mom says about 2.5 year old Daytona I'm a goofy and the sweetest dog at best. I show my love by playing with my people but can also be full of snuggles. I can be a happy, go lucky dog, although my energetic personality may say otherwise. I do need my person to be a leader and be a good role model so I can follow accordingly. I get excited when I see other dogs, but still learning my cues on how to play. I absolutely love car rides, and I get ecstatic when I see cars drive by! I enjoy a good chew toy I can gnaw on for hours! My crate is my haven, where I decompress after a long day or can happy lounge around in there for a nap or two. I am ready to be adopted and loved! Daytona came to us from a shelter back in early fall. He was way too skinny while in the shelter. He was eating well, but wasnt gaining weight and had lots of tummy troubles. Once we got him into our Mazies Mission Rescue, we were able to test and treat him for EPI, Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, which is the inability to produce sufficient pancreatic enzymes needed to digest fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. This difficulty in digestion leads to poor absorption of nutrients which commonly causes weight loss despite a normal or increased appetite. With this knowledge we were able to start Daytona on an easily digested prescription food along with a pancreatic enzyme replacement, and he has gained weight and is feeling happy and healthy now! He will stay in this treatment for the rest of his life in order to keep him healthy.
