Franny originally came to us as a little hot mess from a shelter after being found in rough shape. Emaciated, matted, tick infested, missing hair, long nails, pale gums and more. We got her all fixed up and doing well and found her a wonderful home. Sadly, after her initial health problems cleared up, she ended up having more involved health issues than anyone could have predicted. Her adopters tried so hard, but ultimately it was too much and Frannie is back with us. We're still assessing her needs and she seems healthy and happy for the most part. She has been diagnosed with Mega-Esophagus, a condition that dogs can get where the esophagus dilates and loses its ability to move food into the stomach, causing regurgitation of undigested food. It can lead to weight loss, malnutrition, and a risk of aspiration pneumonia. Management usually requires upright feeding in what's called a Bailey Chair, which we can provide. In our care, we have been soaking her food to make it kind of soupy and feeding her from a raised position almost as high as she can reach (which helps food slide to the stomach via gravity) then leaving her crated for a while. She has not had a single instance of regurgitation so far and other than needing special feeding, she's totally normal. Franny is a sweet, social Toy Poodle of less than 10 pounds and she is approximately 1 year and 9 months old. She sleeps quietly crated all night, gets along with everyone and loves people and other dogs. We're hoping to get this sweet girl the loving home and beautiful life she deserves.
