Arrival Story:
i purchased bear from a first-time breeder in iowa. it was a very exhausting but amazing experience to arrange the sale and pick up. i flew to minneapolis from dc and the breeder drove from iowa to mn and we all got to meet and i took bear home with me when he was about 11 weeks old.

Bio:
Bear is currently dealing with a liver shunt. Unfortunately when he went in for his bilateral cryptorchidotomy, his pre-surgery lab work showed abnormal liver results. So a bile acid test was done and a liver shunt diagnosis was made the following week. Currently, Bear is eating Hills Prescriptive K/D and is taking lactulose and an antibiotic that begins with an M(metrod.....) The good news is that Bear has not really shown anyof the typical manifestations of a liver shunt and appears to continue gaining weight and growing. He was a bit lethargic there before the diet and meds switch but now is back to his full-energy self and is just full of love and happiness. Bear will be getting ready for an ultrasound later this month and this will decide when surgery will follow.
