Here's what the humans have to say about me:
UPDATED BIO 12/21/2013: Nora is a sweetheart of a 10 year old 4 lb girl who somehow found herself in a high kill shelter right before the holidays. She is being fsotered in Miami, FL. Nora was rescued with a large mass on her vulva. The pathology came back today AND IT IS BENIGN!!! Now, that said, the margins were not completely free of the benign tumor. The vet said we should watch it to see if it starts to come back in the future. At this point, it is not worth putting her under anesthesia again as the growth may be too slow to make a difference to sweet Nora. She is ready for adoption!
OK, a little about Nora....... Nora is housetrained to wee wee pads and goes outside to do her business. She has what the vet calls pre-kidney disease. Her BUN and creatinine are elevated, but the vet says she has seen much worse. She is now on a prescription KD diet (which she loves) and eats dry AND wet food. The food is no more expensive than the premium Blue Buffalo food she was eating before :). She can still concentrate her urine just fine. We will be rechecking her labs soon to see if the numbers have improved with proper diet.
Nora has one other issue..... She sometimes lifts her front leg (and rarely her back) when she is walking at a fast speed. The vet did an Xray and found it is simply arthritis. Nora must be on glucosamine for the rest of her life. She takes Dasuquin 1/2 pill per day and eats it mashed in her food. The vet says to expect it to take 2 months or so before we see any noticeable improvement.
Despite her "issues", Nora is just an easy to care for, loving little Princess who would love to shower her new owner with kisses all day and night. She sleeps in bed with her FM and FD and uses doggy stairs to go up and down in the middle of the night if she needs to potty. She is a beautiful little girl who did not deserve to be in a shelter. She's asked Santa for a FURever family for Christmas. Could it be you?
UPDATED BIO 12/14/13: Nora is a sweetheart of a little girl who weighs 4 lbs and is closer to 10 than 8. She is being fostered in Miami, FL.
Nora had surgery yesterday to clean her teeth (she lost quite a few but still will be able to eat dry food). She also had a large mass removed from her vulva which the vets feel was successfully removed. We are awaiting pathology results to know if we got it all and whether or not it was cancerous.
Nora is a doll. She loves to give kisses (which are no longer stinky kisses!) and walks outside. Nora has been put on glucosamine for some arthritis in her shoulder (she occasionally lifts her arm when walking). X-rays showed just some arthritis. She is doing well post surgery. Her foster mom just LOVES this little sweetheart. Stay tuned for more updates!
INITIAL BIO 12/12/13: Meet Nora! She is an 8 year old 4 lb bundle of love who was rescued in pretty neglected shape from an area high kill shelter.
Nora is sweet, friendly, loves people and other dogs. She loves slow walks where she can stop and smell the roses, and bushes, and trees, and rocks. She is at the vet today for labwork as she is scheduled for a dental tomorrow. She also has a rather large tumor (we are hopeful it is benign) on her lady parts that we are having removed tomorrow as well.
Please say a prayer for this sweetheart who will only know love and happiness from now on. Oh, PS, she uses wee pads and goes potty outside. Woohoo!
