Prince VERY distressing pictures homed

Prince was found in Lower Earley, Reading in an awful state.
This is what the person that transported him to Vigil said about him:

I went to the kennels this afternoon to pick up a dog for John, whilst there Sue introduced me to Prince I was absolutely shocked at the state he was in (DISTRESSING PICTURES BELOW). I walked Prince around the paddock and despite all that has happened to him you could not meet a nicer dog, he has such a sweet nature and even managed to wag his tail a few times, he didn't bark at any of the other dogs he was just interested in exploring. He is very under weight and has a lot of hair loss.

Prince's story

Prince will be moving on from kennels today and going into foster with Gerry.

Some pics of Prince in his foster home:
Prince has certainly made himself at home







Off to the vets



With his toy, Gerry said he was flinging it all around as though he'd never seen one before



All tired out after his bath



Total contentment



One of the things the vet said was that prince is a young dog approx a year old and he was probably born with this condition.

An update on how Prince is doing from Gerry his foster mum.....
well he has been here for 4 days now,you would think he had been here forever. Very gentle boy, he is showing signs of wanting to play with my lot which is good, he has started cleaning himself another good sign. When we went to the vets, the vet diagnosed Prince with "Demodex mange" this is passed down from his mother and is not contagious, treatment for this is Cydectin. Prince also has an ear infection Aurizon to treat this, and last but not least he is being bathed twice weekly with Malaseb, he is booked in to be nuetered tomorrow and have his nails done.

Some updated pics of Prince - yes it is the same dog!
Here he is with Gerry's boys and girls


Think I'll be the last to sit


Me and Lexi


Just Looking


Is everyone in?


Right I'm in the driving seat


Now for a well earned rest.


What a difference 3 weeks make


Prince with Yogi, they make a very handsome pair.

Guess what? Prince is staying with Gerry, he's such a wonderful dog she couldn't let him go.

Now happily settled into the pack , this boy cannot look any prouder what a transformation .
From this -



to this

That really is a dramatic transformation. He looks so happy and proud now.

So happy for him and his new family.
