GEORGIA
You will have GEORGIA on your mind from the minute you meet this darling Wire Fox girl. She is genuinely sweet and gentle and everyone wants to be her friend. She is laid back, always on her best behavior and well-mannered. Aside from her wonderful personality, what a pretty girl with her expressive face and lovely marked coat. She weighs 19.6 pounds and is 3.5 years old – born on September 3, 2021. Georgia is a girl who will make you smile – when she heads outside she immediately does a little back feet dance. Loves exploring the yard, lounging on the furniture and enjoying the sunshine. Georgia is a cuddler and adores her human, snuggling in tight and close. Being with you is her favorite thing, going in the car, going for a walk or hike. You get an instant head tilt with the mention “go for a walk”? She is very obedient and comes when called and bops right back into the house. Georgia was a bit timid on arrival as expected, having known only her first home and then a big move to Chicago with a house full of terriers. But she loves it here and is very good with all the other dogs and has so much fun outside with everyone, playing and hanging out. She and puppy Beatrix have become best pals, running and chasing and the swimming pool. Jumping in, entire head and body under water and she will even lay in it. Georgia is such a fabulous girl with a perfect temperament, loving, friendly, and beautiful. She is just peachy and will bring so much love and joyfulness to her lucky Forever Home.

Georgia is an owner surrender who was managing her incontinent with diapers. Initially the vet put her on proin for a year with no results, then suggested a visit to the University Hospital to evaluate for ectopic ureters. A growth was discovered in her vulva in January of 2023 and surgery to remove was declined. It was financial reasons that had them table further vet work since 2023. They reached out to WFTRM for help to surrender her. Georgia arrived at WFTRM Chicago and was very itchy, had a sore inside her ear from scratching and the polyp had grown considerably in her vulva. She had a CBC blood panel done, Bordatella, 4DX Heartworm test, nail trim, Cytology on the Ears which returned negative, and a Cytopoint injection which immediately worked it’s magic. She also had her backside clippered, cleaned and the growth examined and thought it might be a polyp. It is very irritating, painful and sore and needs to be addressed along with her urinary issues.
The repeat urinalysis returned clear for bacteria and Georgia was dropped off for surgery on June 25th at 7:30 a.m. The surgery lasted most of the afternoon and she did have bilateral ectopic ureters – the left was significantly enlarged and was lasered an the right ureter although smaller was also ectopic and lasered back into the bladder. They did a contrast post procedure to ensure there was no leakage or complications. They also discovered a persistent paramesonephric duct remnant and addressed that with the laser. She did very well and the surgery was successful. In the morning her bedding was dry and she went outside and urinated normally. She will continue on the antibiotics for one last week, remain on the Proin and get a recheck in a month. The abnormal little growth on the vulva can be removed at a later time the doctor said. It actually looks so much better and diminished. When she got home she had a big drink and ran outside to play with all her friends. I was told to keep a log and so far, amazing and dry dry dry. It will still be 6 weeks for her to fully heal, the tissues and muscles to tighten. Could not be happier for this darling little girl and she is ready for her Forever Home.
Georgia had her appointment at Veterinary Specialty Center in Bannockburn, Illinois on June 4th for her workup with internal medicine nephrology and urology department. This appointment included ultrasound, bloodwork, Urinalysis, Cultures and examination. The findings indicate a right ectopic ureter and the left ectopic ureter also cannot be ruled out. She has a very bad urinary tract infection with bladder cystitis. The backside issue is an anatomical abnormality and is suspected to be an overdeveloped clitoral anatomy. This should be surgically removed as it likely contributes to urinary tract infection and irritation. The plan moving forward is to address the UTI with antibiotics and will also be on extended release Proin. Once the cultures return, we may need to switch out the antibiotic depending on the results. Georgia would get a urinalysis in two weeks and if the infection was clear, she would continue the meds for another week. The surgery is scheduled for June 25th for the laser ablation and ectopic ureter correction. They advised against removal of the clitoral anomaly in the same session due to the complexity. Georgia had a Spa Groom day and did wonderful and looks and feels like a princess.
