Reply #19: We have an abandoned dog... [View All]

[RevolutionStartsNow]

She has a problem with her esophagus and can't hold food down unless you feed her while she's upright (put the food on your lap and let her eat sitting on her haunches) and then hold her up for about 15 minutes afterward so she can digest. We have to do this twice every day, for the rest of her life.

She probably wasn't diagnosed when the original owners had her, and so she likely was throwing up a lot. She also is scared of her own shadow, so I'm guessing she was abused in some way for all of her "accidents."

She's a wonderful loving dog, the sweetest black lab you would ever meet. She was left in a field.

We are lucky to have her in our lives, though she's a lot of work. It seems like no one ever played with her, either, because she doesn't know how to catch a ball. We're teaching her. :)
