Beans Chihuahua Elkhart , IN

SPECIAL NEEDS...SEIZURES

Beans is looking for a special
home

Beans was found as a stray and never claimed. This little guy is 2 years old and weighs 7#. He is a little Chi mix with some spice thrown in.. Although he is small he is mighty. While Beans can be a little sass butt he knows how to turn on the charm and be sweet and snuggly.

While I've been fostering Beans he has had a few seizures. Mostly they have been when he is worked up. Being little and bossy can add up to butting heads with dogs that are also bossy. He then suffered a seizure. Due to the length and frequency of his seizures it was determined that he needed medication to help prevent further seizure activity. Beans has responded well to his prescription of Phenobarbital. This drug is commonly prescribed for dogs with seizures. We have had one break through seizure that was short lasting and mild compared to previous ones. The cost of his medication was $34 for 1 month supply at my pharmacy. I'm sure if you search around you might find it cheaper else where. Beans will also need to have bloodwork every 6 months to monitor his levels and kidney and liver values. The cost will vary by clinics. Many dogs with seizures can live a long happy life.

While we have covered his medical needs I feel it's important to remember that Beans is a happy, funny little guy. He does well with dogs that don't mind him being the boss. He needs a secure fenced yard and children 10 or older in the home. He is crate trained and continues to work on his housetraining skills. Currently he wears a bellyband when he is free roaming the house and doesn't mind it one bit. Does great with cats. Really he just wants to be with his people living his best life.
