1/13/04 - Miles has slowly adjusted to his new
home. He does like to bully Suki (my other Chin) who is much smaller
than him, so we have to watch him closely. We had a few episodes of his
biting her, but after spending time out in his crate, he's been better,
although he now acts like he's going to bite & stops just short of
actually doing it. He has reflux in the early morning & has been on
Pepcid AD, which seems to be helping at long last. He also has to be on
a very strict diet as he had a severe bout of diarrhea 1 week ago &
lost a lot of weight. He's been on an anti-inflammatory plus Immodium
AD. Now he's eating pastina mixed with Beech Nut Stage 1 Lamb & he's
putting the weight back on & hopefully will be able to slowly get
back to eating dog food. We are just awaiting the arrival of a few
normal stools. His coat is improving & he will eventually be a
really handsome fellow. My vet is working closely with us to get his
health to where it should be. He likely will always have stomach
problems but a strict diet should solve things once it's all under
control.
11/39/03 - Miles has been adopted.
11/26/03 - Miles is pending adoption
11/18/03 - Miles is a 1 yr old male Japanese Chin.
He is extremely sweet, neutered and up to date on all of his shots.
Miles arrived in Middletown, NY, Sunday evening, after a long journey
from Long Island. He rode great in the car,
is wonderful in the crate and does very well with the other dogs in the
home.
Miles has had a couple of accidents, more learning
and nervousness then anything else.
I think Miles will do great in just about any
home...my biggest concern would to be keeping him out of a home
with small children until I can see if I can get some sort of
history on him.
Please watch for further updates on Miles.
