About Laura

Laura - Available Breed: Chihuahua Mix Sex: Female Age: )=10 Years Weight: 12 pounds Spayed. Laura is a special needs lady who needs a special home. Laura needs a relaxed home where she can spend her remaining time without drama in the company of a family experienced caring for a blind dog. And Laura needs a family who can afford her multiple prescriptions for her collapsed trachea, a chronic condition. Laura has responded well to the prescribed treatment regimen of 3 medications which, barring complications, she will be on for life. She needs periodic bloodwork done to see if the dosages of her medications need adjusting. As Laura was a stray, her age is unknown. She appears to be a minimum of 10 years old & could be significantly older. Laura was taken off the streets with a massive inguinal hernia, a sizable mammary tumor & a shrunken, hypotrophic eye. Laura underwent surgery for these ailments, was spayed & had significant dental work done. Biopsy showed her mammary tumor was cancerous. Laura's remaining eye appears to have suffered serious injury, or injuries. She is sightless. Laura is in a foster home with larger dogs with whom she interacts little. Laura will greet other dogs & quickly return to relaxing. Laura uses a ramp to go between the house & yard. Laura does not walk down, but tumbles down stairs, so a home with stairs is not for her. When picked up & carried around, Laura quickly loses her bearings. Laura is up to date on her vaccinations & monthly preventatives.
