About Beba

Shih Tzu
Age: Adult
Sex: Female

Special Needs dog. She is not a lap dog; rather, she is a proximity dog. She will become very anxious if she is prevented from being near me (by a crate, a dog gate, a door, etc.). If she is left alone at home, she will pee. If she is left alone in a crate, she will bark and show signs of extreme anxiety (chewing her paws). I have tried giving her sedatives before she needs to be left in the crate, but they don't seem to work for her. The vet even doubled her dose for the airplane trip we took, but that didn't even seem to work. She also barks when left alone. She is mostly blind. The dark eye is pretty much completely obscured, and her other eye is pretty bad too. The blindness is from her untreated dry eyes when she lived in Mexico. Her eye vet says she needs each of her eye drops 3x a day, with each drop being given at least 5 minutes apart from another drop. That's 12 drops a day! I am usually only able to give her drops 2x a day. She needs to see the eye vet twice a year. She has a cancerous tumor on one eye (her good eye) that is growing very slowly. Every so often it gets bumped and bleeds, which is fine. The vet wants to make sure the tumor stays on her eye and doesn't grow onto other parts of her face. The surgery to remove it would be several thousands of dollars. Her regular vet says she needs semi-annual teeth cleaning, which requires general anesthesia. Her teeth are terrible and there are always new rotten ones to be pulled. She has only had her teeth cleaned twice since
