Arrival Story:
Update - 1-7-13
Layla has passed away after having been in physical decline for a few months.
We aren't sure why. She passed at home and is now at peace.
She had nearly 2 very happy years with us and will be missed greatly.
********************************** ***********
Layla was being dumped on Craigslist. I saw an ad for "albino Dachshund" and my heart went out to this poor creature. I had to meet her.
But when I saw Layla, it was apparent she is not an albino but is a double-dapple, none-the-less.
Her prev. owners also said "she died at birth, and had to be resuscitated and therefore she has hip dysplasia". Well that made no sense at all...HD isn't caused by hypoxia...!
However, having owned Dachshunds for the past 7yrs. or so, I recognized the signs of back injury and sure enough, Layla's got some very serious back problems which cause her to have nerve impairment from about her ribs down.
Bio:
She has significant impairment with her anal tone and also her ability to walk correctly, and to make matters worse, it is apparent she did have some hypoxia at birth.
Layla, although a rescue, cannot be safely spayed, so will stay with us as part of our family for the time being.
