9/11/2026: Lester was lying in his kennel and stood up to eat. When a leash was placed, he immediately pancaked down and would not budge. The handler squatted down, baby talked to him and petted his head. Lester nudged the handlerโs hand but would not stand, then army crawled until the kennel door and would not go farther for more pets. He was left and later walked with other adults, then went back to try to walk him again after cleaning. Lester was curled up with his back to the door and would not look at the handler or lift his head, so he was left in his kennel. He did not potty overnight.

9/9/2026: Weighed 72 lbs. Generalized dermatitis. HW High Positive. Vaccinated (Bordetella, Rabies, DA2PP-V) and given flea prevention.
9/10/2026: Weighed 72 lbs. Lester has old wounds on his face and small areas of alopecia throughout his body, with an overall yeast-like smell. He allowed the leash to be placed but then bucked up and bit at the leash when encouraged to walk. Assessment was allergic dermatitis/fungal dermatitis with a likely fungal (yeast) skin infection secondary to skin allergies or living conditions and nutrition. He was noted to be trying to bite prior, so the medical exam was limited.
