Patch Igarashi

 

Hello, my name is Patch Igarashi. I am a 9-year-old Rottweiler/German Shepherd Mix. I was adopted by my owner from the Orange shelter at only six weeks old. According to my owner, I was an adorable ball of black and brown fur with extrordinarily large paws quietly sleeping in my cage. After all of the dogs were seen, she finally picked me out from all of the other dogs too. The other lady waiting in line also wanted me…but I was already taken.

I’ve been extremely healthy until this last year. I started to loose my appetite, had hardly any energy, and also lost a lot of weight. My owner became very concerned with my health. I was taken to another vet with no success in solving my internal problems. After I was referred to Dr. Slaton and Dr. Horn, extensive testing was conducted and we finally discovered that I have inflammatory bowel disease. I’m currently taking medications and I am finally feeling a lot better and have much more energy. I’m finally getting back to my normal hyper, friendly self. I’m really glad I got to meet Dr. Slaton and Dr. Horn. Thanks again everybody at Orange Villa Veterinary Hospital! Ruff! Ruff!
