Hank - HOOSIER BULLDOG RESCUE

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

This was me in 2016 when I got adopted

This is me now

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.

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.

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!

What weekends are made for!!
