| Nico Enrico is a very special Chihuahua. He came to The Poodle Preserve at 3 months of age in Nov. 2004. At that time, Nico was having up to 6 seizures a day. He was on phenobarbital and potassium bromide, along with Valium, but nothing was stopping the seizures. Nico needed around the clock care. After seeing 5 veterinarians, Nico was diagnosed as having Hydrocephalus (otherwise known as water-on-the-brain). Nico has once-daily seizures, and his future is uncertain. Dogs with hydrocephalus rarely live to the age of 2, and Nico is now 3 1/2 yrs old and thriving. Nico's zest for living, his sweet innocence, and his loving nature are indescribable. He touches the heart and brings a smile to the face of everyone he meets. I treasure each moment with this precious Chihuahua. To know Nico is to love him. I am honored and blessed to be Nico's caretaker. |
