🩺 MEDICAL NOTES:
Mark tested HIGH POSITIVE for heartworms and will need appropriate treatment.
He also arrived with mucoid discharge from his right eye. While Mark was tranquilized, the eye was cleaned and Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment was applied. The discharge was no longer noticeable the following day, although his lower eyelid appeared puffy, possibly from an abrasion or injury.

🐾BEHAVIOR NOTES:
Mark is fearful and overwhelmed. In his kennel, he has a tense body, whale eyes and attempts to avoid the leash. When leashed, his fear has escalated to thrashing, requiring staff to carry him when moving kennels.
