The smallest dog of all.

She is the smallest of my dogs, and if you talk to my husband, he will say she is only half a dog, and doesn't really count in my over all total of dogs. Which in many aspects is true, she comes out of her bed on the heating pad only to eat and go potty. She spends about 90% of her time sleeping and staying warm, and really doesn't stray much from the area her puppy pad, food bowls and bed are in.

It has always been my intention once Basil on his way to recovery, for Peanut to receive homeopathic care as well. Peanut has seen MANY vets, all of which had something different to say about what was wrong with her. My opinion is, and always has been that she is just poorly bred and stunted. No amount of steroids, thyroid meds, nutrical, or TLC was going to really fix what was wrong with her.

When I brought her home I was very much in "animal shelter mode" and homeopathy just too far of a stretch for me. Those of you who read this blog, know that I turned to homeopathy because of Basil. Regular veterinary medicine was keeping him here, but not making him healthy by any stretch of the imagination. Which then caused me to broaden my horizons where medicine is concerned.

During all of Basil's illness, Peanut has been very stable. After dragging her around to see many different vets, with no diagnosis, I was happy to just let her be. However, when I started Basil on homeopathy it was always my intention once he was stable, to start her on it as well.

Wednesday she went to see Dr. Falconer for the first time. He was amazed by Peanut, as are most people who see her, and has very high hopes for her treatment. He told me to make sure to take lots of before pictures and video, because he thinks she is going to become a normal dog! I can't even imagine, and am super excited about the prospect of her being normal. It's really unbelievable.

Stay tuned, and I will give updates as she progresses!
