Bunnie was adopted by her Forever Foster mom on 5/16/2022
I had no problem introducing them to my other two pups. They quickly learned where the puppy pads were and never had an accident after that.
The Vet cleared them both saying Jimmie needed dental but not Bunnie since she didn't have teeth. It must have been about a month later when it looked like something was stuck in her check. I put my finger in and discovered she had 2 teeth on one side and 1 tooth on the other. My surprised Vet had to call a tech into the exam room when he still couldn't see the teeth. The tech held the flashlight and finally confirmed that I was right. I expect to have her 2nd dental cleaning in Feb.
The inquiries came in rather quickly but as the week progressed I noticed Bunnie's belly beginning to grow. I knew she was spayed but it looked like she was pregnant. Back to the vet to be tested and confirmed that she had kidney disease, a form of glomerular. She was put on a special diet, given Lasix when needed and put on a BP pill. The inquiries stopped when it was learned that she had kidney disease and that is when she became my forever foster. Of course I adopted Jimmie as my own.
It was quite fascinating showing them it was ok to go outside. Bunnie will run to the door when it is more convenient than going to the puppy pad. Jimmie on the other hand rarely goes out unless all the dogs run out when something is happening outside.
Medically though Bunnie has been doing great. She is now 12 years old (Jimmie is 13). I was able to stop the Lasix and she hasn't shown any signs of illness. Her last blood test showed the creatine/bun level was now normal but the bun was quite high. That was just last month and we plan to have it redone in Feb when I get her teeth cleaned.
The vet said that I no longer have to feed her the prescription diet but I am leery about switching so quickly. I am feeding her half regular and half prescription dog food. Thankfully she has a great appetite.
I'm happy to say that she may not be the best to show as an example of how much the org spends for medical but she sure could be a poster dog for the fund raising, she takes such great pictures. I attached a couple of her pictures.
