Cesar is one of my rescued dogs, living with me for almost four years now. More than a year ago some skin lesions started, and we've been trying to find out what's going on. Zinc responsive dermatosis has been the most accurate diagnosis, BUT.. Please read the blog, we are seeking help from the world! We appreciate it so so much!

Unicorns in my Living Room? Not Likely... I'll Adopt My Foster (again!)
My friend Eda, whose idea it was to go and get Cesar, named
him. She said "Let's wish him luck from Cesar Millan and call him Cesar. He
needs all the luck to find a new home now." We assumed that he was going
to be renamed when adopted, but we weren't very optimistic about how long that
would take. You see, when there are hundreds of thousands of homeless dogs, it
really is difficult to rehome an adult, mix-breed dog, but as always we were
going to do our best until it happens.
As Cesar started living with me, I realized some
thick, hard, weird substances under his double-coated fur. I was afraid he
could have already been shot, and got him x-rayed. Unfortunately it
was correct, he had more than a 100 lead pellets under his skin, which could
not be removed. Since he's carrying so much lead in his body, I was told that
he'd need blood tests on a regular basis to make sure that he's not being
poisoned by them. "Mix-breed, adult dog who needs blood tests on a regular
basis looking for a home." Now the chances for finding a home for this lovely dog seemed like
unicorns singing in my living room, and I think that's very unlikely. The name
"Cesar" paid off for a quick rehoming, apparently he was already home! I decided to keep him when I saw the X-rays. Hello to my new boy!
