** ALL ABOUT DAISY **
Daisy is said to be born June 2016 and supposedly a terrier/cavalier king charles spaniel.
Daisy is fostered with dogs and cats.
She was surrendered to a foster home, April 2017, at their home business when owners brought her by, then we arranged boarding as she needed to be vetted and groomed for the night.
When I met her for the first time in April 2017 she was shy and scared for a few minutes then she was playful and affectionate but not hyper.
Daisy warmed up to me within minutes of meeting me and even licked my hand.
She was given to last owner 4 months prior in December 2016/January 2017.
She was then found by side of the road, 8 weeks later, appearing to have been hit by a vehicle.
She was seen by a vet and her eye was treated.
She now has a slight head tilt.
This is thought to be the cause of her seizures.
She is cratetrained/housetrained, and was living with three other dogs, and used to kids, and didn't bother owners geese.
On intake she met chickens unexpectedly, and ran from them.
She has a sweet demeanor but the place she was boarded at after being given up by her owner said she was nervous at first as well. (Understandably)
and she has shown to be very uncertain of children.
Once arriving in to rescue and after her vetting April 2017 she started having seizures in our care.
She has been checked and is now treated with inexpensive medications that she gets daily.
She loves to be with other dogs and follows her foster mom around.
She doesn't like walks and she doesn't like car rides - She is a home body.
Foster adds (April 2020)
"Personality - She suffers from seizures due to traumatic brain injury. She has her own routine and she doesn't like change. When nervous she will pace.
Daisy is not a lap dog.
She will come when she wants to be petted or for attention.
She doesn't bark.
She would not be good for apartment as she needs a secure fenced back yard.
People/ Strangers & Kids: Daisy is shy around new people. She doesn't interact very much.
Interaction with Packmates- dogs/ cats -She is fine with dogs and cats she doesn't bother cats and is fine with respectful dogs, She doesn't play very often. She pretty much does her own thing.
Energy level- very low energy
House : she is great in house. She will go to door to go out and pace in circles when she needs to go to bathroom . She will have an accident if you are not near by to let her out.
Crating: she is crated when we are not home and is great in the crate. She gets treats in her crate when we go out.
Food: she is free fed and no aggression to food. She eats grain free.
Toys: she once in awhile plays with toys but not overly interested.
Likes: she loves going outside and laying in the sun in warm weather.
Dislikes: loud noises and other dogs barking.
She doesn't like going for walks as traffic noise spooks her and strangers walking and kids.
She does not like car rides.
Leash respect & training/ Commands: she doesn't like collars and leashes. She will pace when she sees one and needs to be confined in a small area in order to place one on.
Yard rules: she needs a full fenced in yard that is secure. She can not be tied out and no under ground fencing.
Grooming: she doesn't like to be brushed. Not a fan of baths.
Traveling : she is fine in vehicle will just lay down and sleep. No car sickness.
Current Routine : she gets up and let out of crate when I get home from work. She then will come in and lay down. She is given her meds for seizures. Then she will go on couch and sleep.She gets up and goes out to bathroom then comes in and lays down.
She sometimes gets up and is confused a bit.
She dislikes if she is forced to do things such as go for walks as she will stress and pace.
Daisy has suffered many seizures till vets finally got meds regulated.
She will go months with out a seizure but may suffer several at a time once they start.
She is over all a very sweet girl that just needs the right family where she can be herself."
Daisy suffers from seizures at times due to a head injury before she was given to us by her last owner.
She is NOT epileptic.
She takes phenobarbitol pills 2x a day on a strict schedule as well as potassium bromide.
She takes comfort in fellow dogs and cats and would need a home with a compatible dog in it.
She does not like walks or a leash/collar (and she is part cavalier and should not be walked on a flat collar ever)
She is also part Cavalier King Charles - they have issues with their necks in general - it is called syringomelia - they are not to be walked on lead attached to their necks
Daisy is independent, + not one for cuddling.
She has been in foster care since 2017 and they know her well so we will not be moving her to a home.
Her latest bloodwork was done December 2021 and her meds are at a therapeutic level and she has not suffered a seizure in over a year now.
