Trixie #3196
Trixie’s teeth were in very bad shape so she had dental work done when she arrived in the U.S. She had 11 extractions and her teeth cleaned and polished. (With 11 teeth out it took less time to clean and polish – always a positive side to everything!)
Trixie’s foster family reports that she is a dream girl. She has fallen hard for her foster dad and follows him everywhere. She is definitely a Velcro dog, loves the soft bed in the crate they set up for her, and is doing well with all their dogs. She is very itchy so has been sporting a fashionable cone when not supervised. Trixie is a delightful little girl for sure.
Notes from Trixie’s foster family:


While in China with hair.
5/14/19: Trixie has been with us now for a week and is doing very well. She arrived with a slight case of kennel cough which is working its way through her system. Nothing serious at this point, just some mild coughing. We’ve been keeping her quiet and warm so the coughing stays minimal. Before flying to Oregon, Trixie was sent to a vet in Beijing to begin treatment for mange. Once with us, she continues her treatment which consists of twice weekly baths with a medicated shampoo and a dose of Bravecto. Trixie is very itchy so we keep a cone on her when unsupervised. We don’t know if her itchiness is an environmental allergy or related to the mange.
Unfortunately, part of the treatment (at least in China) is to shave almost every hair off her body. When she arrived in Seattle, the only hair on her was a bit on the top of her head – even her ears were shaved! The weather in Seattle, thankfully, was very warm; however, the weather in Oregon has turned cool. Now we’re looking for a coat to keep her warm at night. She seems to enjoy being wrapped in a blanket too.
In the next couple of weeks, we’ll be introducing her to children and may a cat or two. Updates to follow…
