Meet Hercules!! He's no longer in chains!

   

Friends? I'm going to have friends? Let me at them!  I'm in heaven now!!

When Hercules came to rescue he was so fat he could barely walk. At 150 lb. he resembled a pig more than a Dobe. He's now on a weight lost regimen, has quickly becoming devoted to Arda and will follow her around all day for his exercise. He'd been left for alone without any care and due to boredom has a nasty lick granuloma on his back leg requiring him to wear a no-bite collar. As this heals and he has more stimulus in his day he will soon be able to shed this collar. He will have hip x-rays soon to determine if his funny walk is weight related or due to another medical issue. He has been stated on Soloxine for low thyroid levels and this too will help him shed the pounds. Hercules has many medical issues at this time due to long years of owner neglect.

UPDATE 12/11/11:  Herc looks so much better now! I'm attaching a pic of him we put in this year's SCD calendar. He has lost a lot of weight. He LOVES kongs with peanut butter, and by keeping one with him at all times Arda has healed his lick granulomas. He is even starting to grow hair on those legs. He is a big lover boy. Sadly he has developed cancer in his mouth. It is inoperable. He is safe, happy, and in no pain right now. He adores Arda and she loves him to death. She will give him all the time and love possible. Please send up some prayers for our big boy to get more time being happy. If any dog deserves it, Hercules does. Thanks, Sarah SCD
