Chuckie, pit pup


OK, here I iz, with out a dam thing of any value to say to anyone. I take that back!!
Bonnie says I need to tell you about Chuckie, my new baby pit pup. He is a darling really. A darling with teeth that loves nothing more than a running full frontal tackle. I got him at a shelter... sickly, no hair covered in sores and a bad attitude. He was on his way to be put down that day. I have invested a goodly amount of online research into his condition and a WAYYYY bigger amount of change into nutritional supplements to build his suppressed immune system. I have loved him bathed him rubbed him in tea tree oil (twice a week) and learned a lot about demodectic mange (an immune suppression issue) My Chuckie was originally to be a foster pup , you already know what happened, don't you? He is now 7 months old weighs 50 pounds and is a constant source of fun at my house. He is robust and has a nice coat of blonde fur. He will always be susceptible to stress-related immune suppression resulting in skin problems, and that is why he was not considered for adoption by any other family than where is is right now. If anyone has dog with demodectic mange, I would be MORE than willing to share the information I have gathered and the nutritional protocol I have developed for Chuckie
