Well nearly-
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/100_0086.jpg

I've been looking for a companion for Dibby for over a year and finally
adopted Ginnie last month. Her owner had died. She is a Japanese Chin dog,
9 years old, has a grade 4 heart murmur and a luxating patella. She's a
real sweetheart.
Does anyone else have a Jap Chin?

How cute they are!

I don't have a Chin, but I do have a Chihuahua (nearly 17) with
both problems. Her heart murmur wasn't evident until she was
about 14. Two things that have helped her tremendously: (1)
Adequan shots, which help alleviate the pain of arthritis, and
(2) Vetmedin (US name; generic is pimobendan), a heart stimulant,
which helps increase the strength of the heartbeat. Chile was
starting to experience syncope when we started her on Vetmedin,
and I haven't observed an episode since the med was begun (about
2 months).

Good luck with your new addition - and tell us about both Ginnie
and Dibbie!

Oh, they're cuties!

The little Chin looks like fun! I bet he has a hilarious walk.

Cute. One of the few toy breeds I might consider when I get older.

Thanks for all the replies. I feel lucky to have her and Dibby too. They
are so good with my other pets.
William, I never thought Í'd have this type of toy dog. They are sweet
natured and playful. It's so funny watching her run.
