UPDATE from the foster home 6/14/12 'Well, we got good news today. The test for Addison's disease came back negative. And, a week ago after getting the bloodwork back on her medication levels, we increased the dosage of her meds.... went from once a day to twice a day, in effect doubling the dose. And guess what? She hasn't had a seizure since we did that! Running low on meds now, but will get more phenobarbitol tomorrow (the vet's calling some in). Potassium bromide, I found out, has to be compounded. It's not something that's readily available at all pharmacies. At the vet's recommendation, we will be getting the potassium bromide from an out-of-state compounding pharmacy which is known for their precision in compounding. We're doing this since Lily's seizures have proven difficult to get under control; the vet wants to ensure the dosage of the bromide is what it is supposed to be. Lily is still displaying some weakness in her hind legs, some difficulty on the steps and some difficulty both getting into my jeep and jumping on the bed, so we're still going to want to get an x-ray to check for displaysia. The vet, however, wants to wait to do this until she's been on the increased dosage of her meds for one month. This is because she'll need to be put under anesthesia for the xrays, and with her slower heart rate, we just want to be safe. Lily continues to enjoy hanging out here with my crew, going for walks, and she LOVES to swim!!! Water, I think, is by far her most favorite thing. She loves swimming in it, playing in it, drinking it, and when I get the hose out, she likes to bite at the stream as it comes out of the nozzle. What a goofball. She really is a delight to have around. She gets along
wonderfully with my other dogs, doesn't mind the cats at all, and can't get enough of my attention. She is definitely one of those 'velcro' dogs!
UPDATE 5/31/12 - Lily is doing well in her foster home and adjusting to the spolied life style. She enjoys the company of the other dogs and even spent the weekend swimming. Her foster Mom says this about Lily 'Lily has very gentle kisses, and she likes to chase light patterns and reflections on the ground, as well as dragonflies and butterflies. And she loves to chew her deer antler and hooves. She is just adorable.'
Lily recently went to the vet to have her blood check for the appropriate levels of medication. We are currently waiting for those results. As well, her foster home noticed so that her back legs were alittle wobbly, so Lily will be going in for xrays to make. Please keep following Lily's story as she enjoys her foster home and gets the medical attention she needs. If you'd like to help Lily, please consider donating to our Hope For Healing Fund. Donating to this fund will help Lily get her xrays, medication and health exams. Thank you!

Lily is a gentle, darling 2 year 6 month old border collie mix. She is a very sweet girl that is affectionate and easy going. Lily loves to snuggle and likes nothing more then to get attention from the people she loves. She is good on her leash and enjoys going for her daily walks. She likes to play with playful dogs and respects the older dogs that need their space. Lily has something special about her that has charmed the staff & volunteers. She is very well behaved, gets along with the other dogs at the shelter and is respectful of the cats. This is a wonderful dog that really deserves a chance at a new family and life.
