Squiggly is a 15-year-old Terrier in Jefffersonville, IN, who needs $959 for Echocardiogram and Lesion Cytology.

Squiggly came to Louisville Metro Animal Services after being found roaming Shelby St. in Louisville, Kentucky on November 16th, 2023. He was adopted in 2009 from LMAS, so the search for his owners began based on the information in their system. Unfortunately, Squiggly's owner had passed away and the family was unable to care for him.

Squiggly has now found his forever home with his new owners, Kelsey and Christian, as well as a senior blind dog (Ruben) and a senior cat (Pippa). He loves to sleep most of the time, but otherwise he loves to explore the house, bump into his brother (this group is lovingly known as The Blind Boys), and nudge his owners for rubs.

Squiggly is a medical senior that requires twice daily medications and a lot of attention. Despite being 37 pounds, in suspected heart failure, and as old as the Declaration of Independence, Squiggly is always happy. His tail is wagging, he is trying to climb up a flight of stairs (imagine our surprise), and he loves to lovingly bark at the cat.

Squiggly, despite his loving nature and adventurous demeanor, is a true medical senior. He has severe cataracts in both eyes, suspected heart disease, weight issues, etc. He is currently being treated at Access Veterinary Care in Jeffersonville, Indiana. We are so fortunate for the support and strangers and loved ones who have financed his initial vet exam and an unfortunate trip to the ER.

The next step is to understand the state of his heart before we try to address enucleation or his weight. We have an appointment scheduled for December 18th for an echocardiogram and analysis of the fluid in his belly. The estimate for both of these services is $959.65.
