Updated 6/3/05: Unfortunately, Codya’s kidney disease had progressed too far. Despite hospitalization and treatment, Codya went to the Rainbow Bridge today. Farewell and rest in peace gentle giant.
Original: Codya and his brother, Carter, were turned over to MAESSR when their owner passed away. Unfortunately, Codya has tested positive for Lyme disease and his bloodwork indicates kidney disease as well. These two may be related. He is being treated for both and his prognosis should become clearer in a few days.
In the short time at his foster home, Codya has been a gentle giant. He is the perfect house guest. He is housebroken and doesn’t counter-surf or garbage-dive. Codya gets along well with his foster brothers, ages almost 2, 4 and 12 years old, and the six-year-old boy at his foster home. When exposed to cats, he just looked at them. Codya is not interested in playing or toys yet.
As more becomes clear about Codya’s health issues, and as his foster family gets better acquainted with him, updates will be posted. Please keep him in your thoughts.
