Resident DUBLIN returned to Glen Highland in 2021 at age 12, many years after his first rehoming when he was 4 years old. This change will be his last, as he is with us for his remaining years.

A happy, super smart Border Collie, he loves his ball as much as he loves people! Focused for lots of attention, he wins over everyone he meets.

Dublin has mobility challenges with very severe arthritis throughout his body so we’re providing much needed pain management. He cannot do steps at all and when he exercises a bit too much, he has a hard time getting up or maneuvering and laying down easily.

Like many stoic Seniors, he pushes through the discomfort but lets us help him up with a boost. Dublin is an amazing character that is strong-willed and full of vigor and 'go'. His body is so compromised, but Dublin doesn't let that stop him for one second! These days he would rather run up to say "hello" than go after a ball. But Dublin still loves ball games which we play ‘in close’ just for him.

 

HEALTH CHALLENGES:
Dublin has a significant heart murmur so is being monitored for symptoms that may need to be addressed with prescription meds. He is on a special diet for advanced Renal Disease. Dublin is also on Metacam, as needed, and Gabapentin for pain, as he has significant arthritis on top of existing orthopedic conditions. He has recently recovered from a presumed stroke and is being watched closely for other neurology symptoms. Regular vet visits and bloodwork are required to monitor all of Dublin's health challenges.
