Guest twilliams Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 OMG. Poor, poor baby. I'll definitely include him in my prayers. How could a shelter not consider this guy a case of dire need. It is sickening how animals are treated. Bless you for taking care of him. Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BoomerMom Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I took Brody back to PPAH at noon today to look at his skin and the wounds from his scratching. We have changed him over to a prescription anti-itch medication and are hoping that it will help. No one knows yet exactly what his problem is, but we are continuing with antibiotics etc. He is still eating well and poop is reasonably firm - what else can you ask for at this point? Thanks again for all of the support. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dogrunner04 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 What a beautiful guy he is. I am glad he has ended up smewhere to get the care he needs and the love he deserves. He will be in my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Winterwish Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I hope the new medication helps a whole lot. He's beautiful! Hopefully with such a nutritional diet,it'll help his skin too.

Guest VaGreymom Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Just checking on his progress. He has touched all of our hearts and I can't stop thinking about how he is doing. Continued prayers and positive thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BoomerMom Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Brody didn't eat all of his breakfast this morning. I don't know if it was because there wasn't enough Maxi-Cal in it or if he just doesn't feel like eating. I'll see if he is interested in roasted chicken when I go home at lunch. I seriously doubt a hound in his condition is going to start being picky about food. We still don't know what is wrong with his skin. He doesn't have mange so the vet is thinking it is fungal. Those test results won't be back for a couple more days. I don't know how much the new meds are helping. He is still scratching a lot and drawing blood. One of the things that is so frustrating is that he is just one big scab and there really isn't a place on his body that can be petted. I really just want to cuddle up with him but I don't want to hurt him any more. I can't wait until I get clearance to give him another bath. Dr. Soileau is concerned that his skin is just too fragile to handle being washed. She also suspects that he has Cutaneous Larval Migrans - a condition that develops from parasites (hookworms) when an animal is kept in constant filth and feces. Sometimes I really hate people..... Please keep your fingers crossed that the antibiotics kick in pretty soon and that there is a solution for his skin. Brody is such a sweetheart and he really deserves a better life than the one he has had. Hug your hounds, Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BoomerMom Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Sending prayers. What about frozen BilJac? Excellent idea! I was thinking about fat balls this morning, but don't know if his system could handle them. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I am not a fan of fat balls--no way I would use them. The stress on the pancreas could be too much. Have you given him anything for his stomach? Could be eating has thrown him for a loop. I don't like to interfere with acid production unless necessary. Actually, carafate is the best thing. I'd go with frozen BilJac. If needed, you can mix canned in with it or boiled turkey or boiled hamburger Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
