Hour ago, you did not even think we needed a blood draw. How about iron supplements, what is the dosage? No, I can't cut it in half, how about I give it every other day, that will make constipation less likely too, nurses. He rapidly improved, hair stopped falling out, coat actually looked like dog hair. 10 years later, 100# and looks like he could be pulling a wagon.

Have before and after pics in this thread, I think. In the before pics he looks like a cartoon dog, head too big for his body. I wonder how big he would have gotten if he was not starved first 11 months of his life.

No, sorry....I do not have any before pics. I didn't think about it at the time.
