In what way is it a different lifestyle for Zada? |
I can't take her for walks due to her being so low to the ground and just inhaling dirt & dust, or meeting other people and dogs to get too excited over, I have to keep the house more humid and cool, I have to keep her out of the hot sun, I have to pick her up immediately upon coming home from anywhere to keep her from getting too excited. Excitement causes her to breathe fast in which the air can't get thru the trachea very well, so she chokes and coughs and these episodes can last hours. She's more or less house bound. When we take the coach on trips, she has to stay inside when we go into an RV park because she will see people and other dogs if she's in the fenced area and get so excited she can barely breath and I have to give her the inhaler and put her on my bed with me while I calm her down. Even when she sees us "packing" the coach, she has these spells, so now we have to put her in one of the spare bedrooms, ( I put the other girls in with her) while we pack.
