Posey

My story

Posey was transferred to Valley Humane on 7/17 from the East County Animal Shelter. She is a young adult (estimated to be aged between 1 and 4 years old) and weighs 21 pounds.Posey has a condition called `luxating patellas.` This means that her knee caps on her hind legs may spontaneously pop out of place, resulting in lameness and pain. At this time, her luxating patellas are a Grade 2 out of 4 (where 1 is the least severe and 4 is the most severe). This means that the knee cap is loose and may move in and out of place spontaneously as she walks. At this time, the luxating patellas do not affect her gait and do not appear to cause lameness.Posey has a flea allergy, which means that the dog is allergic to flea bites. Dogs with this condition can develop very itchy skin and hair loss even when they only have a few fleas. While at VHS, this dog has been treated with monthly flea prevention, such as Advantage or Frontline. The new adopters are advised to keep up with monthly flea prevention in order to control this possible flea allergy.Do you have questions about this animal or are you ready to take the next step to adoption?
