Contacts for rehoming and/or decision making…please no huge group homes, she needs her own special person but would do well in a small pack. She sleeps with person. She escapes and can get out of ANY harness and will run. Not good recall, she responds to playfulness to return:

FOOD:
Images of Products
Homemade diet, beef and turkey, avoid chicken, though it could work for a few days, she seems to get the runs eventually.
Gently cook all foods and store in frig. Add Balance IT suppliments after reheating food, do not cook suppliments!
I sauté up chicken hearts, chicken liver as toppers, try different things
Also, I have on hand Wellness canned turkey meat (95%) (Pet Express) to put her pills in
Jack’s 6” bully sticks MONITOR her!

Still rather noisy when excited or exercised. Monitor her activity for over-exertion. Calm her if breathing gets noisy or forced. She gets hot rapidly.
Mojo is prone to:
1. MCT (Mast cell tumors)
2. Reverse sneezing, the worst I’ve ever seen in a pug. Sometimes after eating.
Calm her. If extensive take to Emerg.
3. Hives/skin allergy Bumps:
If it’s only visual bumps and no scratching, Use Douxo Pads for wrinkles/spray/shampoo for body
If she’s itching extensively even after a few days of Duoxo, take to Vet for an injection of Cytopoint, it helps. Concurrently use 25mg Benedryl 2x’s a day until bumps/itching subside.
4. *Ear infections *WARNING: When bathing her do not get her head wet nor water in her ears, stay below her ears and just use damp cloth to wipe face and ears. She’s prone to bad ear infections.
5. Struvite crystals and UTI’s
