Sebastian D14860

Hi! My name is Sebastian and I am from Minnesota. From the foster: Sebastian is a sweet old man. He's very active for his age but also enjoys a good nap. He LOVES to have his head and ears scratched and will insist you continue scratching. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and runs with them to announce the arrival of the mail carrier. He has small tennis balls that he likes to chase and play with. Sebastian loves his dog beds and will also rest in his crate. He doesn't jump up on furniture but likes to be picked up and put next to you on the couch for some pets and scratches. He loves to be outside and is good about eliminating outside when put outside but doesn't have a signal to go out. He wears a belly band to help prevent messes inside. We haven't gone on walks outside but when the weather warms up he may enjoy neighborhood strolls. He gets very excited when his foster mom puts on shoes - hoping to go for an adventure. He had a dental the beginning of February and is now a toothless wonder with the cutest 'tongue out' smile. The good news is he no longer has mouth pain and there is no need for expensive dentals in the future! Sebastian had surgery to remove bladder stones and will need to be on a prescription diet to prevent the bladder stones from re-forming. He likes his prescription kibble but does yearn for table scraps (sadly, no!). Although Sebastian is older he still can hear! And, the really amazing thing is that he is a good listener! Is a calm, gentle, older pup what's missing from your current adventures? Sebastian loves to meet new friends! Medical Bio: "Hi, I'm Sebastian, a senior sweetie looking for my forever home! I had a few medical struggles while I have been with The Bond Between that my future adopters should be aware of before taking me home. I had a mass that needed evaluation and it was determined that I needed a dental procedure. During my first few weeks in my foster home I also started to show concerning urinary symptoms such as blood in my urine. It was determined that I had crystals and stones in my bladder. I had an urgent surgery to address the stones as well as get the mass removed. The initial cytology showed cells that were consistent with a cancerous mass. After this surgery I was started on a urinary diet that I will need to be on for a minimum of another month or as much as lifelong to manage any further possible urinary complications/stone formation. The mass was fully removed with good margins and The BB Vet is confident that this is a curative measure for this type of mass. My future adopter should monitor me for any further masses that may arise and have them evaluated by a primary care veterinarian. My dental procedure took place in February and I have been doing well ever since! Hope to meet some new people soon to find my forever home in my golden years!"
