About Luci
Luci's heart was broken when her beloved owner became sick and could no longer care for her. They had had such a strong bond, so when she was surrendered to the shelter she was just devestated. Luci couldn't cope in the shelter environment, so she was transferred to us for foster care.
The silver lining of Luci coming into our care was that she too has underlying health issues, and we were able to address these for her. Luci had terribly infected ears and a ruptured ear drum. She also had a UTI when she came to us. Blood tests and ultrasounds revealed that Luci had Cushings Syndrome. Although this is an ongoing medical condition that will mean she'll be on medication for the rest of her life, we believe she deserves a wonderful home.
Luci is a delight, she enjoys the company of her foster carers dog. She loves company and loves to follow her foster mum around the house, settles well when they are out. Luci likes her bed, and sleeps either beside her foster carers bed or in a cosy bed in the lounge room.
Luci is great with cats and other dogs. She sometimes has a little bark at the kids next door but otherwise isn't an excessive barks at all.
Her foster carers describe her as easy going and laid back and they love her dearly.
Medical notes
All Chihuahua Rescue Queensland dogs have been fully health checked by our vets. We offer a free post-adoption health check with Greencross Vets at Chermside, Jindalee, Browns Plains or Indooroopilly hospitals. This gives you the opportunity to talk directly to the vet about any questions you may have. We provide all veterinary records for each dog, including copies of blood tests, any relevant xrays and medical notes.
All Chihuahua Rescue Queensland dogs are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped. We test all our dogs for heartworm and treat them with regular parasite prevention.
Luci has Cushings Syndrome. The medication costs about $200 for a bottle that lasts three months.
When she came into care, Luci had infected ears and a ruptured ear drum but this has healed well. She was also treated for a UTI which is completely resolved.
