Archie's Profile
Hi, I’m Archie!
The staff at the OHS call me a Performer! Performers love being at the centre of attention and are usually excited to meet all types of people, often introducing themselves! Performers need a high amount of exercise daily, and would love a daily hike, jog, bike ride, or long session of fetch every day. To work their minds, Performers usually love the excitement of food puzzles, frozen treats, training games, and hide-and-seek!
Performers need to be integrated into the family and are usually pretty fun to take out and about for family activities – they love being where the action is! After a good day of socializing and exercising, you’ll usually find Performers flopped down next to you to enjoy some quality sleep time. If you’re looking for an active, social companion, then you’ll have lots of fun with a Performer!
This animal has had recurrent/difficult to treat ear infections (Otitis Externa). Otitis externa is an inflammation or infection of the external ear canal. Recurrent/difficult to treat/severe ear infections are often due to underlying allergies.
Since Otitis Externa is typically caused by allergies, and there is no cure for allergies, this will likely be a life-long problem, requiring vet visits and medications to help control his/her symptoms. Veterinary care to manage recurrent ear infections can be costly. If the underlying causes of the ear infection cannot be managed, this condition often requires repeat veterinary visits, prescription hypoallergenic diets, and ear cleaning/medicating at home as directed by your veterinarian. In some cases, progressive chronic cases of otitis externa may require surgical intervention. We are unclear at this point if his/her ears will be a chronic problem or not, but as this pet’s new owner you should be prepared for this possibility.
