Charlotte is a tiny lovable chihuahua-terrier mix who was born about June 2010.
Weighing in at about 8 lbs, she is spoiled  - but she deserves! We met her when she was about 3 months old when she literally peeked out from the tall grass on the side of  a country road to catch out attention as we drove by.  She was so malnourished she was almost hairless. A checkup at the vet revealed she has demodex, a hereditary condition that causes dogs to loose their fur. She is currently undergoing treatment for this condition and will be fine. Use of a good monthly flea control, ProMeris, will help control this condition from reoccurring. Most of Charlotte's fur has regrown.

**(The treatment of Demodectic mange is usually accomplished with lotions, dips, and shampoos. Fortunately, 90% of demodectic mange cases are localized, in which only a few small areas are involved and can often be treated topically. A treatment that has been successful for years has been a 1% rotenone ointment (Goodwinol ointment), or more recently, a 5% benzoyl peroxide gel applied daily. Bathing periodically with a benzoyl peroxide shampoo and feeding a high quality diet and a multivitamin with a fatty acid may also help some dogs. Most of these localized lesions will heal on their own and do not require overly aggressive treatment, though they may worsen before they improve.)

Charlotte is current on worming and puppy vaccines, has has been on a monthly heart worm preventative, and will be spayed for adoption. She is paper trained and learning house training.
