Chica

Our little cow print dog with different colour eyes, wobbly legs and lots of love to give.

This sweet dog came to us after her previous owner could no longer keep her. Unfortunately due to complications with paperwork, she was "illegally" here and unable to go up for adoption. This however was not a problem at the time as this poor little girl had a whole host of complicated health issues that we need to understand and help anyway. 

Firstly is the extreme tremor in her legs that was almost always there to some level. Seemingly no pattern as to why it would get worse some days.  After multiple tests and vet visits, we are still not 100% sure what causes the problems. However, the good news is that she has adopted Silvia, one of our volunteers. Feeling the love and relaxation with a person her nerves and anxiety have calmed so much that it has helped the tremor somewhat. Still an ongoing battle but she is happy and healthy and improving. 

Another complicated issue this cow dog had was with her teeth, very rotten and infected. This was a much easier fix, once she had an operation to have the offending teeth removed she became a different dog, happier, healthier and with much less stinky breath!
