I have a story and I find myself in a position that I can no longer provide Chloe with the care she needs. I love this little dog with all my heart and I want to find the best place I can find for her that will be the best for her. I rescued Chloe in January of 2022. Chloe has been a source of joy and companionship since she came into my life. Chloe is very loving and affectionate. She does like to cuddle, and she is very welcoming towards other people. And, she is, was, my shadow. She went everywhere with me. On the 13th of March 2024 Chloe suffered an injury from an unknown source. I have taken her to CSU in Fort Collins, Colorado to be evaluated. The prognosis of that visit was very bleak. Chloe would have needed an MRI to find out exactly what the extent of her injuries were and how to possibly treat them. That procedure would have cost around $7000. Some tests were performed on Chloe to rule out having any fractures. It was found through an x-ray that there were no broken bones. The physical evaluation that the vet made, were, without any kind of surgery or other ways to treat her injury,i.e rehabilitation, she would have about a 5% chance of recovering from this particular injury. If an MRI were to be done and it was determined that surgery would be needed, the vet said that it would possibly be a 50/50 chance of her regaining the use of her legs. Surgery could also run as high as $7,000. So, any of that would be out of the question to pursue. I am left with very few options to take care of Chloe. Chloe does have a brand new cart, which she has adapted to very well! It is a vet recommended cart, Walkin Wheels, so it fits her very well! She is now looking forward to daily walks, which are very beneficial to help her regain her strength after having to be confined due to her injury. This was to help with any swelling that had occurred and to keep her from moving around more than what she should in order to heal. She is unable to pee on her own, so she needs to be expressed at least 3 to 4 times a day. She can expel poop on her own. We have established a routine where taking care of her bathroom needs are pretty much taken care of at a specific time of day. It is quite difficult for me at times to pick her up and carry her as I do have issues with MY back. She weighs in at 24 lbs. and it can be a challenge for me to bend over in order to pick her up. I am not as young and strong as I used to be! (74) She has regained her happy deposition and is wanting to play and wanting to try and chase her cats again. She was pretty despondent for a while, which is totally understandable! Considering my lifestyle and how taking care of Chloe would hinder that, I find it nearly impossible to care for Chloe the way she needs to be cared for. She needs an environment where there is care available at all times. She will no longer be able to travel with me and it will be very difficult, if at all, to find care for her when I am gone for extended periods of time. We are continuing to do daily PT procedures. I do have a wonderful person who comes in to administer chiropractic treatments and acupuncture. This whole situation breaks my heart. If there is a way for Chloe to have a good life within the confines of her condition, that would be preferable to the alternative. Please, please, SOMEONE consider giving Chloe the home and the care that she needs. Please contact Jeanette Corbin her number is 970-768-4728 July 7, 2024, 8:02 pm
