This is so hard for me to even consider but due to health and financial reasons I am no longer able to give my special needs little girl the care that she needs. The last couple months Ive had a lot of issues with my own health and many hospital bills. My little girl is a special needs yorkie that needs a full time stay at home mommy that can keep her healthy. She has health issues herself and its been a struggle. Shes three years old and has had several cases of bloody diarrhea and vomiting. We've run many tests and had exploratory surgery and have not been able to find the cause. Over the years Ive noticed that certain things trigger her upset belly. Stress and eating anything other then her food. Which has been very hard to prevent since shes puppy pad trained and we cant break her of eating her own poop. She gets extremely sick when she eats her own poop so I pretty much stay with her full time to prevent it. Because of that shes now developing separation anxiety which is making the whole stress trigger worse. Its a daily struggle to keep her belly from getting upset. I have her long term on Cerenia and Tylan powder which has helped a lot! She also developed a bladder stone that we've been trying to dissolve with vitamin c and cranberry powder. Its doing the trick the stone is slowly dissolving but its taking several months. My little girl reacted horribly to the medicine to dissolve them and she cant tolerate the ingredients in the food that dissolves them.
Shes a love bug! She just wants to sit on your lap and cuddle. She does get very playful and runs around with her toys. She also loves playing hide and seek. I catch her hiding behind the couch and then she jumps out and tries to scare you. Its the cutest. Shes always been the only dog so I don't know how she would do with other dogs. I know she doesn't like hyper dogs. She did well with my grandpas older dog. His dog moves very slow and is not very active. She would love to be in a nice quit house that has her mommy there full time.
This breaks my heart to have to consider this and Im terrified I will not be able to find her a good home. Ive been trying so hard to make it work but I don't think I can make it work for much longer. I really don't want her in a foster home because of her anxiety. I would like to keep her until the right home can be found for her. Please email me if you know of anyone that may be the right fit for her. I am in the Cincinnati area. Thank you so much for listening to my story.
