Arrival Story: Zuki was found wandering around. Poor guy started humping us when we found him. It was love at first hump.
Bio: Zuki was hit by a car in April of 2001. He was at the parking lot of the dog park and saw a cat across the street. He darted across the road and was hit. The jeep did not stop and Zuki flew 30 feet. His main injury was that his left hip was broken in two places. After fundraising enough money to pay for the surgery, he had a long recovery. The vet said if he didn't start using all four legs, he would have to have one amputated. We gave him leash walks (previously he was able to roam at the dog park) to slow him down enough to work all four legs.
Zuki eventually was able to use all four legs, but has a funny trot to his walk and can't quite go as fast as before. He can easily be knocked down because of his instability to his back legs. His sister Sienna finds this tough because she used to have a great time wrestling with him. Now, she is simply too rough after a while and we have to stop her from working to hard on him.
Zuki's more recent struggles have come since we have lived in Seattle and given him mostly leash walks on pavement. His back paw which has less sensation has been scraped and formed a wound that hasn't really healed. He tends to buckle his back leg and this also hurts the spot. No fur has grown back since he licks it (we assume it itches him).
Vets have recommended amputation, puppy prozac, and behavior therapy. At this point, he wears his collar whenever we are not around and at night. We wish he could be without it but he seems to open his wound back up again when not supervised. ***update*** Zuki's wound has been dry and not open for 5 months!!! thanks, dogster pals****

Guess what? I had an electrocardiogram on Friday and just got the results. according to that, my heart was pumping better than before! Whoo-hoo! It's less dilated as well. I haven't had any fainting fits since those two I had. I have had some panting spells, but those are pretty typcial for me. It could be some arrhythmia according to Dr. M. I feel great and my mom and dad are super-happy with the news!
Well last week I fainted again. Once on Thursday after mom and dad were in a "heated discussion" and once on Saturday after they had been out awhile and came home. I got excited and fainted. It was the same as before: I fell to the ground and then shook a bit, wheezed, then came up and panted.
We called the vet and I'm back on the medicines lasix and digoxin. I haven't fainted for about a week. i've been kept pretty calm. i have still been breathing pretty heavily and wheezing at times. i also have a EKG set up for Friday to find out more. I'll let you know.
My pal Levi tagged me! It's called the "Getting to Know You" tag. Read my replies and then wrote your own in your diary.
1. What color is your collar? Black with flames!
2. What kind of food do you eat? Evolution vegetarian dog food. (also I sneak the cat’s food sometimes…shhh!)
3. What are your favorite treats? Coconut, mango, apple, carrot, almond butter, PB cookies. The list could go on forever. I love food.
4. Do you have a Valentine or significant other? Sarah
5. Do you get table scraps? Mostly just fruit scraps and pieces of avocado. Not all the time.
6. What is your favorite toy? Tennis balls for sure.
7. When is your birthday? We just celebrate my adoption day which was March 18th.
8. How many times a day do you get to eat? Breakfast and dinner. That’s two, right.
9. Do you have a favorite color? Black!
10. Do you hope all your pals put this in their diary? If they want to. It won’t hurt my feelings if they don’t.
*Hey you pups I tag - just copy and paste this in your diary, then erase my answers. That's a whole lot easier that having to type it all out! Maybe!!*
Have fun!
My turn to tag! I will invite these pups to play:
1. Sarah
2. Noah
3. Moxie
(I’m only tagging three but feel free to tag as many as you like!)
