Story
Coco ACCT-A-213928 is a 7-year-old female who came in as an owner surrender on 2/25 due to behavior. Behavior: On 2/26 staff noted: “We brought Coco out for some activity time today. Coco was in a top sidebank and was very stressed- panting and drooling with dilated eyes. She would not sniff at the handler and remained very stressed. When the handler reached in with the leash she shied away from it but allowed for easy leashing and then came to the front. When the handler went to lift her out she stiffened and appeared uncomfortable and gave a little growl. She then jumped out of kennel on her own and walked well on leash. In the room Coco was very stressed and continued to pant heavily, drool, but stayed close to her handler. She was tolerant to full body petting without issue including touching her paws and checking her teeth, but remained highly stressed in the room.” On 2/25 owner stated: “Pees and poops in house, has bitten 3 adults, and is not good with other dogs. Has bitten people multiple times. Twice bite broke skin. Anytime people come into house rushes the door and tries to bite. Been ongoing about a year. Nothing specific provokes.” Medical: On 3/8 staff noted: “Coco has been observed to have shelter acquired upper respiratory infection (URI), or a "doggy cold". She has been started on medication, and will be monitored for resolution of the respiratory infection. PCR pending” On 2/27 exam staff noted: “Mouth/Teeth/Gums - clean with under bite Coat & Skin - no live fleas, shaved off some artificial constipation. Bright, alert, responsive, skittish, just go slow and use a muzzle to be safe.” On 2/25 exam staff noted: Bright, alert, responsive, stressed, panting, whale eyes Allowed brief exam from Doctor & pets. Defecated when being examined. Both eyes were pink and staff was unable to examine Mouth/Teeth/Gums. - ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia.
