Ticki's Page
I am heartbroken to have to report that Ticki went to the Rainbow Bridge April 6th, 2000. She fought hard to live but in the end her body was too weak. She is missed very much.
I am a Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound/Rat Terrier/Something mix, I think. I am about 1 year old. I came from a city shelter where I caught Distemper.
I have been with my new Mom since July 1999 and most of the time I have felt pretty bad because of the Distemper. My mom has been nursing me really good. I felt better but then I had pneumonia and my lungs hurt and I couldn't quit coughing. Then I got over that and now I have a Bronchial Collapse and Chronic Bronchitis as a result of my having distemper. My Mom and my great Doc are working real hard to make me better but I will always cough when I get excited and sometimes I have a hard time breathing. I have to take a lot of different medicines right now. I even have to take something that my Mom calls my "magic potion" that is a bunch of herbs and it is supposted to help my lungs. My great Doc talked to a holistic vet (whatever that is) and got the recipe for my "magic potion". I don't really like it.
I like to sleep under the covers curled up next to my Mom. I really love to play but sometimes it makes me cough. My Mom doesn't let me run around too much. I do love to guard my stuffed toys and growl at anyone who tries to take them away, heehee. Well, I gotta go for now. I hope you enjoy my page.
This is another picture of me--anyone going to Taco Bell???
Please everyone, have your pet spayed/neutered AND vaccinated!
