ChiChi - Resident Angel - (Seniors for Seniors Program - Permanent Sanctuary Foster)

**Update** (10/13/22) ChiChi will be staying with her foster parents as part of our Seniors for Seniors Program. She has a wonderful life with them and is so happy now! Her leg continues to heal. (8/27/22) ChiChi is in a foster home and is doing great! Her leg will be xrayed and assessed by our rescue vet. (7/30/22) Chichi (10 yr old 13 lb Chi girl) arrived at an area humane league due to the previous caretaker being unable to afford her medical needs. When she arrived she had a cast on her left hind leg. The previous caretaker did not provide information about her broken leg. It was noted that Chichi was seen at a vet hospital 4 weeks ago and had a splint change at that time. They had her seen by their vet and she stated that it doesn’t appear that the fracture is healing well. She recommends continuing to splint her leg for another month and if no improvement she’ll likely need pins placed in her leg. Their vet also noted that Chichi has severe dental disease, will need a dental with extractions, has an oronasal fistula where her one tooth was, and appears to have bladder stones. This week ChiChi is having a dental, bladder stone removal and having her leg pinned. In her previous home Chichi lived with cats. She had no interactions with other dogs and children. She is not fully housebroken and will use puppy pads. However, the accidents could be due to her bladder stones. Chichi did amazing for her intake and allowed the staff to handle her without issues.
