Gucci, now Marley, 7 months Female Labradoodle

|
2/13/08 Gucci has a clean bill of health and can finally play with other dogs, so she is having a ball. At this time, we'd like her to go home. It's been fun, Gucci, but you finally need to go to your forever family. We thank all her sponsors and her fan club. She is a wonderful dog, a jokester, smart, lovely, and will make someone very happy. Hopefully that person will follow through with her training and holistic program so that she remains strong and healthy.
1/31/08 Gucci gets several 2 mile walks a day with lots of hill work to build her leg muscles. She will need an adopter to continue this regime and to keep her on the raw diet. For at least another six weeks she cannot play with or wrestle with other dogs so that she doesn't reinjure herself. She is doing great and the limp is 90% gone.
1/25/08 Gucci is healing wonderfully and started physical therapy yesterday. The vet is pleased with her progress and says if we keep up the protocol she should be a new dog in two months.
1/19/08 Update: Gucci has done remarkably well on the holistic protocol. She sees the vet on the 22nd and begins Physical Therapy in Natick on the 24th.
12/26/07 Update on Gucci: She is continuing to improve using Chinese Herbal Medicine, acupuncture, and ozone. She has another 3 weeks of confinement, then can begin physical therapy.
Gucci was born 7/3/07 and is a female Labradoodle, up to date on shots, owner surrendered ....they were moving and couldn't take the dog! She is a bit of a clown and recently injured her leg by jumping off a deck. An exray indicated a possible cruciate ligament tear, but our vet thinks possibly a growth plate weakness and possibly a slight case of pano. We will consider a holistic home only. She is undergoing physical therapy in Natick so the adopter must be in close proximity to her PT. She's got a fabulous personality but is extremely mouthy, so kids under teens are not a good idea. Someone with training experience, who has successfully trained a dog through adolesence, would be our first choice. Anyway, sponsors are needed to help with her treatment. We will update you as to her progress.
