Who is this incredible little girl? Meet Millie Bobby Brown, an "Eleven" year old smooth red female dachshund. She's had some "Stranger Things" happen to her in the past few months, but this sweet girl is amazingly resilient. Millie Bobby Brown came to us when her owner fell on tough times and could no longer care for her. Since being with us, Millie has battled an autoimmune skin disorder like a champ, never losing her friendly, spunky personality.
Millie Bobby Brown weighs in at 10.5 lbs. She's 11 yrs young (born 6/9/13, but you would never know it.) She's an active girl that thinks age is just a number. (Although, she does love a good nap.)
Millie absolutely loves to go on car rides and meet new people. She's a social butterfly and thrives on attention. She does well with other small dogs, but would also do fine as an only dog as long as she gets enough attention.
Millie Bobby Brown Is doing great with potty training. She does well if taken outside regularly and will use a potty pad when it's raining or snowing. She sleeps nicely in her kennel at night and does well when left out of her kennel in the house when you're gone for a few hours.
Millie enjoys spending time running around outside and chasing critters. She can be an escape artist, so a securely fenced yard is a must. Most of the time Millie will come when called, but best not to take chances. She also loves to go for walks and is good on a leash.
Poor Millie Bobby Brown started getting sores all over her body shortly after coming into rescue. After some initial treatment at the vet, she was referred to the Canine Dermatologist Specialist. Tests and biopsies found that Millie has Pemphigus Foliaceus, an auto-immune disease where her immune system forms antibodies and attacks the connections between the skin cells. This results in crusty patches, hair loss and skin inflammation which is uncomfortable and itchy. The inflamed areas then turn into visible sores on her skin.
Millie has been placed on several immune-supressing meds and her skin has now cleared up. She will need to stay on the cyclosporine and prednisone for life to keep the disease in remission. Her regular vet should be able to prescribe and manage these meds, but if the disease flares up again, she may need to see the Canine Dermatologist Specialist again.
If you're looking for an adult dog and wonderful little friend, Millie Bobby Brown is your girl! She does have special medical needs, including regular meds and vet rechecks, so be aware of the added cost to keep Millie healthy. She will repay you with tons of love and companionship.
