About Otto

Otto is a 10-12 y/o hospice Chihuahua mix. He has one damaged / sunken eye, as you may can see, but he sees great out of his other eye, and he hears fine too. He's a happy, peppy boy, without too much arthritis, and his teeth are pretty normal old man Chihuahua teeth. . Unfortunately, Otto has *severe* heartworms, to the point that he coughs and gags just from walking around the room. ���� He wants to run and play with the other pups, but his heart just can't handle it. Otto is on the 'slow kill' method of treatment right now, and we're going to watch him and see. We have had other hospice dogs beat their heartworms over time, using slow kill, so we're going to be praying the same for Otto. We don't currently believe he is a candidate for 'fast kill', but we're going to evaluate that as things progress. We'll do what's best for him in the end, regardless! . Otto prefers not to be crated, but given he's sleeping most of the day, it's not really needed! He is house trained and gets along with dogs and cats both. Sweet Otto is a hospice pup, but still hoping to find that Forever Family that will love him for as long as he's got left.
