gav22 24 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Poor dog has no muscle definition. id be interested to see another photo in a months time after some good feeding and exercise. Do you live near the sea? swimming in the salt water would be the right job for that lad with regard to skin and feet. iv already tried him in salt water he dont like it Most dont but if you find a decent pier that you can put him in at one end and walk along the pier with a long lead to the shore its great to build up wasted muscles without putting too much pressure on them too fast also good to heal feet and skin. the dog mightent like it but a lot of us dont like medicine but it will help us in the long run. Dont rush him anyway. I had a dog do his cruciate ligament, And it wouldnt heal with rest and wouldnt put weight on while walking. did the routine i spoke of above along a pier in salt water and the muscle built up very fast. the dog has come on leaps and bounds. P.s my dog hated the water but when they are in and realise they have to swim to get to dry land they just get on with it. ill give it a try tomorrow Quote Link to post

freem 25 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I don't believe it, it is a real dog!! I thought it was a piss-take Gav, I was expecting to see another rocking-dog marking the couch!! Fair play to you for taking him in bud, I'd say we wont even recognise him as the same dog by the end of the summer, atb, Mark Quote Link to post

cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 I hope he gets fit and well soon. I have found that the dogs that are given a second chance in life, usually work really hard for their new owner. They always seem to look at you like they really are thankful. I bet you he will turn into a decent worker. Quote Link to post
