Vet/Medical Info: Lucy is a wonderful dog. She is on Phenobarbital and Potassium Bromide for seizures. On 1/25/2011 she was given a one year rabies vaccination as well as bordatella, DA2PLCPV and a heartworm test which was negative. She also had a fecal float done and had a thorough annual wellness examination. On 2/9/2011 she presented with staph pyoderma and was given cyphalexin and derma vet ointment. On 4/25/2011 she was given heartguard 1 year tablets. On 9/16 she presented with discospondylitis and was given a metacam injection and previcox medication. She is currently on phenobarbital, potassium bromide and previcox for her arthritis at a cost of $120 per month.

Owner Info: Lucy is an incredible dog, very sweet. She's almost completely blind, she has epilepsy and she has arthritis in her back as well. The seizures are very well controlled on the medication, she'd only have a seizure if she were put under a large amount of stress or frightened badly, an example being another dog jumping on her and snarling. Because of the medicines she takes that keep her going, we're trying to find her a new loving home because we can't afford $120 per month in doggie pills. We love her very, very much. We want to know she'll be somewhere where she'll be happy.
