💚 I'm Adopted!! 💚
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

Hank loved his Thanksgiving meal! I don’t know what he was eating before but I’m sure this is 10000000x better
Shopping at Lowes to help my foster dad finish making a dining room table.

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. Also 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
|
Everytime I start showing improvement, I 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!

I didn’t really feel like waking up to eat breakfast today…
But I’m definitely ready for lunch! NOM NOM NOM

03/16/20 Update: 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! |
|
03/19/20 Update:
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 |

03/22/20 Update: As you know, Hank's recent skin biopsy confirms diagnosis of Pemphigus. This is a chronic autoimmune disease. Hank has a few needed items on his wishlist. Please consider sending one of these items to continue supporting his health. Thank you so much! |

I’m healing ok from my skin biopsy but my sutures are sooooo itchy itchy. I get to see Dr Baker tomorrow for a quick TCVM exam and then get some herbs started for my Pemphigus. Hope everyone is staying well

03/26/20 Update: I was feelin kinda lousy earlier today .... but I went to da dogtor and got my stitches out!! They also did cold laser on my ouchies so hopefully they heal quicker. I’ll keep up on my baths and ointments and will start some Chinese herbs too...#Pemphigus #autoimmune #survivor Also some of my amazon wish list items have started arriving.

04/04/20 Update: Healing with food! I eat Answers Pet Food beef with goats milk, JingTang Chinese Herbs, Firm Up, CocoTherapy™ oil, and bovine colostrum as part of my Pemphigus regimen. Slowly things are coming in from my amazon wish list that people ordered from a couple weeks ago! I know there’s still some outstanding stuff (like the cocotherapy oil). If you sent us something please send us a DM so we can make sure it arrived. Things are of course delayed now with the virus but we want to make sure no one got jipped on ordering me things. I appreciate it so much!! Thank you!!!! |
Goodnight !

Excuse me. My dinner portion seems to be unreasonable small tonight. I do not know this word “diet” and I do not wish to hear it again.
|
Only 3 pustules on his back and a little bald spot. The vet is reducing his medication even more. He’s come so far from that bald scabby underweight bulldog at the shelter

When you’re on a diet ....but then you see someone has chips.
Hank had a little bit of a flare up when we decreased his meds, so we had to go back up again But he’s in great spirits and still overall looks amazing compared to that poor boy we pulled from the shelter!
