Because there’s a million bulldogs already named “Tank”, and he doesn’t really look like a Tank anyway.
I think he looks like a Hank. So... Welcome Hank! I’ve known you 5 minutes I LOOOOVE you!
Hank was adopted out from the local shelter in 2016... he was returned this past Friday in this condition.
This poor baby has been very neglected and it will take a lot of work to get him healthy again..
But with your help we can make it happen!
He is super playful already and just so stinking adorabull…and also just plain stinky LOL

12-28-19 Update
Hank had a recheck yesterday at the vet. His foster has been spraying AnimalEO skin base on his paws and they now look improved.But his back looks a bit worse than last week. So we’ll be using the spray all over his body. Cytology shows less bacteria than before so that’s good. He had some yeast this time tho. We are starting an oral antifungal med ($86 WITH GoodRx. And continuing the antibiotic. We are changing his food from Farmina with Answers Goat Milk to completely Answers Pet Food. This will cost about $60/ week but will eliminate carbs from his diet which is important for a yeast issue. I have also been thinking his skin looks a bit like Pemphigus, an autoimmune disorder. The next step will be to do a skin biopsy. He has a follow up appt Jan 7th. Thank you to those who shopped our Amazon wish list… I’m headed to Hank’s foster right now with the new food, as well as the Manuka honey and some pill pockets from our amazon list.

Sending out a skin culture for this kid! Let’s see what’s growing in those skin bumps!
|
Goodnight from Hank. Sorry he’s too busy sucking his blanky to look up
|
When your foster dad makes you stay up late to watch football... at least share the snacks!
|
Just being a lil sexy

Every time Hank starts showing improvement, he takes a step back. We got his skin culture back and he has MRSP He’s resistant to most antibiotics. Today he starts a new antibiotic and a new topical ointment. Paws crossed this kicks that
bacteria for good!

Yesterday I was having a pup cup. Today I’m having a biopsy #pupdate - Hank had started to show lots of improvement.... we were thrilled. And then he had a big flare up. My gut is still saying autoimmune, so we are moving forward with additional testing (read: expensive & more invasive) but it’s definitely needed at this point. Please consider donating Thank you! |

Poor Hank. He’s very uncomfortable following his skin biopsy- and looking a little like Swiss Cheese. But we do have answers.... It IS pemphigus foliaceus, which is an autoimmune disease. We’ll work hard to get this under control and get him feeling better. ❤️ Thank you for your continued support. 🙏🏼 Ways to donate: ❇️ Venmo: @hoosierbulldogrescue ❇️ Facebook: Hoosier Bulldog Rescue ❇️ PayPal : HoosierBulldogRescue@gmail.com |
