Shih Tzu / Mixed : : Female (spayed) : : Senior : : Small
Lady is such a love bug that greets everyone she meets with puppy kisses and tail wags. She came to us with a severe urinary tract infection and bladder stones. After a long course of antibiotics, being on a special diet and surgery, she is feeling much better. It is very likely that Lady will need to be on a special diet and cranberry supplement for the remainder of her lifetime. She will also need to be screened regularily for UTI's due to her history of chronic bladder infections and stone developement. Lady will need to go to a special home with someone that understands her special needs. She is such a special little gal! *All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped. Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they generally require extra time to settle in and acclimate. Skills like house training, leash walking, and mastering stairs may require a little extra practice. However, with understanding, patience, and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly. |
