Dandruff or something more serious?

Profile Information

Hometown:: Manila

About Me:: I've searched and searched for two years and now I have my own rescued corgi.

About My Corgi(s):: Her name is Faye Valentine. I rescued her from a careless breeder in Illinois. She's not spayed or housebroken, she's very obese and she has bald spots because of allergies. She's on her way to being rehabilitated.

Oh, and she's very camera shy. When she's scared, shy or unsure she folds her ears down. It's so hard to keep her still for a picture! Any tips for taking good pictures?

The Faye Files

June 21, 2008 - The Corgi Rescue of Southern California just contacted me about two young males that are coming in soon. Faye needs a companion badly. All she does is lay around, and you know what they say about a dog that's all sleep and no play (actually no one says that but whatev)... They will be put into foster care and will be neutered and housebroken before I can adopt one of them. I'm really hoping Faye will regain her energy and zest for life soon.

June 20, 2008 - Found out that Faye actually has an allergy, not scabies or mites as I predicted. Her ears are shorter than other corgis because the edges have been ripped off. Poor girl! She's working on being crate trained and she's on a diet now.

Dog Vomit.

I was taking a nap yesterday afternoon and woke up to a bad smell. Faye just had diarrhea all over the floor next to my bed. I kept running to the bathroom to puke while cleaning it up. Anyway, I had her drink water then I left to go help a friend move. I came back after 3hrs and discovered the she has puked AND pooped in 7 different areas of the house, two of them being in my room and the bathroom floor is COVERED with this... gooey mixture. I brought her outside just in case then started clean… Continue

Clean butts.

I have a friend whose parents own a dog grooming place. She was telling me about how some breeds, like Pugs, need help cleaning their behinds after they poop because they're not so self-sufficient. Is this true for Corgis since their bodies are of different proportions? I usually just let Faye out to do her business and she comes right back in when she's done with whatever. I walked her earlier and she pooped (she usually doesn't on walks). I've watched her ever since we got back and so far she… Continue

Ugh, just need to vent.

So I took Faye to the vet this morning and there was a lady sitting a couple feet from me carrying a cat wrapped in a towel. She kept saying out loud that her cat was bit by a dog yesterday. I understand her fear, but there was a pitbull, a german shepherd and a standard poodle around her, but she chose to throw a fit about my little, harmless corgi. She kept yelling "NO!!" at Faye every time she moved from her position. My name was called and I got up and started walking toward the doctor when… Continue

Faye Update

I took Faye to the vet this morning and the doctor said it's a cirroma (sp?). It's like getting a blister, it's a sac full of fluid. Also, when she sits her legs rub against the area. She bandaged her up so she can absorb it better and also just in case her sutures burst open. That would be scary. She's okay, I just have to restrict her movement and not let her run around at all. She even suggested being crated most of the time (I don't know about that...). No more running and playing in the ya… Continue

Infected?

I took Faye in to get spayed last Thursday. She was doing fine, I gave her a bath in a shallow pool of water, and we went for a long walk. I just noticed a few minutes ago that the area they stitched up has swollen to the size of a baseball. Is the healing process really like that or is this an infection? I've been calling and calling the doctor's office, but no one was picking up. I'm freaking out.

I can completely understand your reaction at the vet. You did the right thing by saying something when she struck at your dog. Some people are really weird about animals. A lady at Petco once went on and on about Trunks barking one time when we walked in. She kept telling us he sounded just like a pitbull that had bitten her. We just walked away after she told us the story a few times.

At 6:30pm on July 24, 2008, Great Basin Corgi's said…: Thank you for your comment on Emee - she is a handful because I spoiled her! I hope Faye is going well - that is really wonderful that you adopted her and our Corgi's wish her all the best of everything, she's in good hands now!
