About Breaking Bad : Jesse (Ash)

Ash is a very loving boy who has a lot of life and energy to share! He enjoys being with his human and is a wonderful companion. Ash does have some medical needs that require strict management throughout his life. He has an inoperable liver shunt, which means he must remain on a special prescription diet and medications. If he strays from this diet, toxins can build up in his body. Due to his liver shunt and other medical issues, Ash has some difficulty controlling his bowel and bladder. He can also exhibit medical-related behaviors; when protein levels are too high, he may become aggressive, usually towards other animals, and can be grouchy with people. It's possible these behaviors may increase as his liver shunt progresses. Ash also has a bit of a sleep challenge; he takes frequent naps but doesn't sleep for long stretches or through the night.

Ideal Home

Ash would thrive in a home where his medical needs can be strictly managed. His medical conditions can lead to aggression towards other animals and grumpiness with people when his protein levels are too high.

Ongoing Health

Ash has an inoperable liver shunt. He requires a strict prescription diet and lifelong medication. He also has difficulty controlling his bowel and bladder due to his medical conditions.

Training & Support

Ash's training and support needs are primarily related to managing his medical conditions. It's important to adhere to his strict diet to prevent toxin buildup and potential aggression. Owners should be aware that his behaviors may change as his condition progresses. Sleep is also a challenge, as he takes frequent naps but does not sleep through the night.
