Milo is an approximately 6 year old Yorkshire Terrier cross Jack Russell. He is a sweet, yet timid, little dog, however, approximately once every six weeks, Milo experiences a minor fit due to his epilepsy. Previously, he was on medication, however, this wasn’t helping him and so he is no longer taking it. Before a fit, Milo will come and find his owner, as he likes to be comforted as it is happening: it starts with a head tremor, then his hind legs start to spasm, and this lasts for three minutes before he goes back to normal with seemingly no ill effects.
Milo’s previous family had a baby, however, he is very wary of the crawling baby. Though he usually shows no aggression around the baby, he has snapped once; most of the time he will simply move away. Milo is happy to accept belly scratches, and once he knows you he is affectionate and well-behaved, although he can be nervous around strangers. Milo is very good both on and off of the lead and can also be left for several hours. When he was younger, Milo was attacked by two bigger dogs, and so he is defensive around them, however, he does seem happy around smaller dogs.
Milo needs a quiet home with no children, and someone who can provide him with the time and nurturing to help build his confidence. He has lived with a cat, but does like to chase them, and so any cats in the home would need to stay out of his way before he is trained not to chase.
