b>UPDATE 8/12/06

Photo added of Zeus in his dracula costume cuddling with our adoptable Deaf Bull Terrier Blake dressed as a pumpkin

UPDATE 9/9/05

Zeus is regaining weight wonderfully and continues to do well


UPDATE 8/27/05

Zeus is doing wonderful. His staples were removed and he was very cooperative
even though it hurt quite a bit

having so many staples removed from his abdomen/chest area.

His favorite vet tech Jason hugged Zeus and kissed his nose to help keep his
mind off of the pain while his staples were removed while our Director and
another vet tech helped to keep him calm and still

Zeus is very thin after this life threatening experience but his appetite
is wonderful and we're working at

getting Zeus back up to his normal weight.

Zeus wants to be held and cuddled all the time even more-so than before he
bloated

Zeus will be returning next week for a follow up visit with Dr. Brian

UPDATE 2PM 8/2/05

Update on Zeus our CODA blind Great Dane-

Zeus made it through the night with flying colors. I visited with Zeus at
Gateway Animal Clinic in Cleveland Ohio this morning at 10 am. He had stood
up several times this morning but the vet techs were not able to convince
Zeus to step out of the cage because there was a little metal strip across
the bottom by the door that raised up above the floor and Zeus had slid his
paws under the metal strip when he tried the first time and then he thought
there were stairs in front of him or a drop off so layed back down and wouldn't
get back up for the techs to walk him or take him outside to use the bathroom.

He was still pretty groggy from the anethesia also.

When I walked in I was happy to hear everyone working say to me, ' Oh
good, you're here . Take him out for a walk' Those words were magic to
my ears:)

I easily got Zeus out for his walk and he really had to urinate badly and
it took him quite a while:)

He was still very wobbly so we walked back in and I got him settled back in
his cage and puffed up his blankets so he could rest his head comfortably.

I stayed with him and stroked him and talked to him for quite a while and
then told him to just relax and sleep all day and I'd see him this evening.
I also let him know he did so good and that he's over the worst of it now
and that we were all praying for him. He snoozed back off to sleep as I was
leaving. Heart failure is a concern after a bloat/torsion surgery so please
keep Zeus in your prayers.

Zeus had to remain at Gateway Animal Clinic for four days on IV fluids before he was released to finish his recovery at his foster home

AKC REGISTERED NAME-SIR ZEUS THE GREAT

Zeus is a 4 year-old Blind Merle
Great Dane

UPDATE:

Zeus was seen by the Veterinary Opthamologist on August 16th 2004. Sadly there
is nothing that can be done to restore Zeus's vision. We found out that although
Zeus has severe cataracts

Zeus has never been able
to see and was born completely blind.

His eyes underneath the cataracts were never properly formed.

ZEUS IS A BLIND BLUE MERLE GREAT DANE
Zeus was a real mess when he came into rescue in August of 2003

Zeus is feeling much better now that he has beat the infection and swelling
from his neuter surgery and he is gaining weight and feeling so much better
He has overcome the ear infections, and internal parasites that plagued him when he first came into rescue with CODA.
Zeus is
currently up to date on all of his vaccinations, is on heartworm preventative,
and frontline
.


Zeus loves everyone he meets, dogs, cats , humans but he especially loves
children!

UPDATE 2/4/05

Zeus's right lens in his eye has calcified and Zeus has started on a steriod eye drop treatment we are praying the lens does not break free and start causing Zeus pain if it does Zeus will have to have his right eye removed
