The results are in and, thankfully, Cinn is doing pretty well! He is Heartworm and Lyme Disease negative. His fecal was negative too. His thyroid condition is stable with the medication he has been on so he’ll continue on that. Cinnamon does have the very early stages of cataracts in his right eye. Also, Cinn has arthritis in his back legs and hips. Apparently he’s been functioning through his daily routine in pain. Because of his discomfort, it seems that he did not want to use his legs as much as he should have been able to and has, as a result, suffered some muscular deterioration in those limbs.
The wonderful staff at West Hills have put Cinn on pain management medication to encourage him to walk and run and play pain-free. With some time and patience, Cinnamon’s foster will be able to help him rebuild those muscles.
Cinnamon does have a very strong heart and clear lungs. He’s also been given medical clearance to be neutered. That’s scheduled for next week!
Cinnamon is a very special boy. We’ll have more updates on his progress for you as we get it!

Cinnamon is such a little sweetie! We actually adopted our Shiba, Triton from a private owner listed on your site. He is amazing and is very good with our African Grey parrot, Angel. Triton is very submissive and calm. We live in Upstate NY in a nice suburb. If you need a loving foster home for little Cinn we would be happy to help out. Our application was submitted already by fax (then we got our Triton)! Cinnamon will make someone very happy, he is a cutie!
