Jack is a Bull Terrier that I literally found laying in the middle of
the road. He is suffering from serious condition(s) that need
extensive treatment and follow through. We have been doing everything
we can to treat him and he is gutting much better. However, there is
much more at work here than simple allergies. Whatever his affliction,
its literally killing him and we need to investigate, diagnose and
treat until its solved. Help us get Jack "The Bull" Terrier
back on his feet!
Jack is a Bull Terrier who has seen better
days, but we are going to resort him to glory. I stubbled upon him
laying in the road on my way back from a run. He was exhausted, unable
to move and obviously suffering from a a serious condition or
combination of ailments. His skin is horribly infected and his hair
has all but fallen out. He also has a fungal infection which causes
him to emit a very pungent oder. His owner showed up right as I did
and she explained to me that he has some serious allergies that have
been hammering him for a few months. Despite her efforts to treat him
with recommended med and dips, he continued to get worse. I felt it
destiny that I happened upon him and decided to ask his parents if we
could take over his care and try to get him back on his feet. hack is
allergic to a variety of foods and elements and, well, stuff, much of
which was present at his current living situation. So, the best thing
we could do was to bring him up to the rescue and get him to a
specialist to administer the best care we could. We have had scratch
test, biopsies, blood work and full evaluation to get to the bottom of
what his true affliction is and we should have word back in a few days
from the veterinary report. We have been treating him, with great
success for the past week or so and he is getting better. Baths every
other day with special shampoo and administering new meds consistently
has really paid off. For the first week or so, he barely moved, but
has shown vigor and life of late, which gives us great hope that we
can return him to his former glory-- a stud muffin bull terrier! He is
in bad shape and his treatment will take months. The next step is to
take him to a dermatologist as soon as he is "live" enough
and see if we can't expedite his recovery. He is a sweet should and I
honestly believe that when I met him, he was wondering away to simply
die. Not so fast, pal, we can help!
