Here's what the humans have to say about me:
UPDATED BIO 03/16/2014: NORA is 10 years old (but doesn’t act her age, acts much younger!) and weighs only 4 lbs; she is being fostered in Bunnell, FL.
Hi my name is Nora and I am as sweet as can be. I love to sit on my FM's lap. I have 2 doggie sisters that I love, but I would prefer just to sit on FM's lap all day. I also love to sleep with her under the covers and as close as I can be.
I use pee-pads as well as going outside. I love to eat, even though I am on prescription dog food for my kidney disease. I was pretty sick when I got here, but as long as I stay on the prescription food, along with 2 medications which FM hides in my food, I feel really good. Oh, one more thing, there is an IV I get every couple of days to keep my fluid levels up, it's not so bad ~ only takes a few minutes but I feel so much better. I am a happy girl looking for a loving home who will keep me healthy by giving me lots of love and continue my medications so I will stay healthy and live a long time. Could your home be perfect for me? I will love you forever and ever! Xoxo Nora
UPDATE! 01/16/2014: Nora is back! She is a 10 year old, 4 lb beautiful girlie; she is being fostered in Bunnell, FL. Nora was surrendered by her adopters due to a medical issue. Please watch for updates on Nora soon!
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?
