Sugar

About Sugar (Mountain cur) in Murphy

Sugar is waiting for you at Lost Dogs Run in Murphy, NC 28906. Sugar looks like a white 45 lb Kimmer Cur & possible Am. Bulldog mix, very shy and sweet, about 3 years old. She was found in Wildcat Subdivision in Murphy, NC in late July and brought to nearby Lost Dogs Run, so weak from starvation, that she could hardly move. Sugar recovered rapidly and now is a very quiet and calm dog who just likes to hang around, following her foster mom. She was obviously used as a breeding dog in the past. She is now totally vetted, house trained, and heart worm negative. However, in mid August she had three 2 minute seizures within 24 hours and was immediately put on levetiracetam (initially 3 500 mg tablet a day and now a month later 1 tablet a day) which totally stopped the seizures. Her medicine is not expensive and her dosage is 1/3rd the normal dose and has no bad side effects. We will soon try with no tablets to see if there are still no seizures. Her low energy nature would make her a great pet for a retired couple. She is just so sweet and wants to stay near home. Each morning, she is let out to explore in the neighboring woods and is back within a half hour, eager to go back in the house. Call Ron Stoessell (985-630-1613) or email him at [Coordonnées masquées] if you can provide a great home for her. <img src="https://tracker.rescuegroups.org/pet?15866490" width="1" height="1" />
