Meet CiCi

CiCi is a 10 year old female surrendered to the rescue because the owner passed away. The owner had had CiCi since she was a puppy so her transition has been hard for her. Not in the best shape with being very overweight, a few lipomas, some dental tartar and a lipid on one of her eyes. Her fur had also been clipped close to her skin with some patches of fur loss. Her owner had her current on her vaccinations so we started with doing a senior blood panel on her. With that, we discovered that she has hypothyroidism. This is one of the contributing factors with her significant weight issue and hair loss. She is currently taking medication and will be re-tested in 3-4 weeks to see if her levels are therapeutic.
