Georgie *SPECIAL NEEDS* French Bulldog East Lansing, MI

SPECIAL NEEDS DOG

Hi there! My name is Georgie. I am a French Bulldog, estimated to be about 3.5 years old and I weigh 16lbs. I am a beautiful gray color with tan mixed in.

I came into rescue as a medical case because the shelter didn’t know what was wrong with me. After lots of tests and time, I have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I have chronic diarrhea that I will always have. I need to have my bottom wiped after every potty. I am potty trained to go outside but I can also use puppy pads at night time so my human can sleep. I usually have to go potty every 2-3 hours.

Because of my UC, I am very skinny as I have a hard time digesting and absorbing my food. I am currently on a prescription food, this is the food that has been the easiest on my tummy. We tried multiple different foods. When I have a flare up, I need to be on steroids. We tried one kind but I had reactions to it. Luckily we tried another kind and it seemed to help me get over the worst of the flare up and it isn’t very expensive for my hooman to buy.

I am the sweetest girl that loves to snuggle my hooman, I have to be touching my foster mom at all times. I don’t like cold weather so I will need sweaters and boy oh boy am I so cute in them. I love to chew on and play with stuffed animal toys and tennis balls. It took me a while to learn what toys are but now I love them. I also like to wrestle with my foster doggie siblings. Because of my UC I cannot have treats or extra foods mixed into my diet. I have to maintain a very strict diet for my health and well being. I am a home body, new things and stress cause my diarrhea to get worse. So my new home will have to be with someone who is home most of the time.

Georgie also has some bone deformities that are obvious when you see her. She was born without tailbone vertebrae so she just has a shorter back. This does not cause her any pain at all, it’s just something people notice when they see her. She still runs and plays, though she does struggle sometimes with jumping so she just gets picked up.

I love other dogs, cats, and especially kids and people! I enjoy being picked up and cuddled. And snuggling on the couch is an absolute must!
