Charlie’s Health
May 31, 2008
Charlie is in great health overall for his age. He will be 12 years old in September. However, he has just recently begun to develop some health problems. The main problem right now is dry eye syndrome or keratoconjunctivitis sicca. He is on artificial tears, Optiimmune and, Neomycin/Polymyxin for this condition. He also has developed a few skin anomalies but these are no big deal.
Overall, he is the same old dog I’ve always loved. He gets on top of me as I lay on the couch and it does not take long for him to fall asleep. He follows me everywhere. He licks water off my feet when I get out of the shower—do all doxies do this?
He likes to take walks though isn’t quite as strong or as fast as he use to be. I’ve recently shortened his walks. His muzzle is getting more white.
While on the computer, he is often behind me laying and/or napping on his blanket on the floor.

Dachshund Warning Sign
[...] My little three year old son is interacting better and better with Charlie and Thank God my boy has never injured Charlie. From atop the couch, Charlie often watches my Son playing with his toys. Charlie gets curious and interested and also wants to play at times. Sometimes my Son will chase Charlie and Charlie will run behind the couch only to come out on the other side. My Son cannot catch him and they both enjoy this game! I enjoy watching them! I do have to remain vigilant however as my Son, in other circumstances, still does not fully understand how to treat or handle Charlie.
