About Dotty | |
|
|
Has tremors mostly in her back legs that make it difficult for her to walk at times. She also has a constant twitch in her front left leg. Most days she walks pretty good with an occasional trip and fall when her front legs give out. Some days the condition is worse than others and she will have difficulty getting her legs to hold her up.These instances are likely due to the fact that she was a distemper survivor and because she was pregnant (at the time of rescue), her condition caused the dormant side effects to resurface (since the pregnancy increased her stress levels and her immunity was compromised). Her foster family would be more than happy to answer any questions about her condition. She also does not like riding in the car. She can go for short slow walks and some days will even chase and fetch her toys.
Dotty would do good in a quiet low energy household with adults. She's good with small gentle dogs but does not like cats.
