Hi Lynne,

Ok, I went to the pound today. I did see another brindle bitch, she needs some help, you'll see what I mean from the pictures.....She is older looking and is a lovely girl. She is calm and friendly, loves a fuss. They tried her with another dog and she wasn't too bad. Bless her, the young bitch wanted to play with her and she just didn't want to know so was a bit grumbly with her but I think she would be ok with a calm dog and good introductions.

She has hair loss round her rump and tail, the skin is dry and toughened. She is such a nice girl.......

Please can you help her??

Many thanks,
Gilka xx

Kathy is now with us! She is very much a 'ringer of Pickles (homed earlier this year)and Phoebe'. A small slender framed staffie with a pretty pretty face and sweet demeanour. Our vet registered her as '5yr' old its hard to say as she is physically challenged but I would say 5-7 yrs based on the browning of the whites of her eyes and hint of white hairs on her muzzle.

In the vets: Yes to meet her currently tugs at the heart strings.. Rolling Eyes

She is skeletal, her skin is hard grey and powdery bare crusted lower back and backside..the rest of her body and legs are less severe with very thin fur and 'spots'. Her head is least affected. Scrape carried out and surprizingly no evidence of mites. She has raging kennel cough and teeth need a scrape. She has had puppies in the past. She is swollen, but not in season. Treatment plan Maleseb baths every 2-3 days. Have 'Advocate' to hit any hint of mange or fleas. 2 weeks course of antibiotics. Vitamins supplement. Skin care lotion. Gentle diet .. naturediet. Melted Christabel's (our vet's) heart when she went to give her a treat and she sat and took it very gently!

At home: Kathy is being kept separated as she needs to recover. She enjoyed our garden with the lights on and ate her meal gently without 'gusto'. We joined her having our meal on the veranda. Came over for affection, a little wary and nervous, but definitely has human trust. Seemed especially taken with Lorenzo Smile

Had a Malaseb bath and then shown her room which she seemed delighted with having lovely views over the neighbourhood. Settled over night just coughing and throat clearing to be heard.

Kathy has a wonderful nature and will win through this unscathered we're sure. Her Staffie love for people and affection will win many hearts as she is gentle with it. She has the prettiest head ever!

The pictures below are taken just as a record of her poor condition. Already after her bath her furs beauty is showing. Like Phoebe she has what I called a 'Black Mahogany' Brindle rich in colour.

Oh Kathy ...things noted today..
1) Teeth are in a good condition; maybe younger? 5yrs
2) Settles in the car, not too interactive..just keeps an eye
3) Sad feel about her, looks at you with sad forboding eyes
4) Greets strangers really well sides up to them and will quite soon after arrival offers the belly
5) Knows to bite through a lead to try and get to where she wants to be..front of car into back seat when left!
6) Takes tablets really well!
7) Long exploritory, intuitive, reflection on her skin. Hard 'spots' under a dry 'elephant' type grey skin...feeling this is due to starvation/ poor nutrition. I am sure with a high quality diet her immunity will kick in.
Cool

Kind gentle nature No problems with children. Warm, grateful and concerned little personality.

Sad sad story behind this little love

With a lot of work,worry and love, we will all be looking at wonderful photographs of a beautiful dog, resting her head in a home of her own at some point in the future:!:

Kathy's lovely lovely face..matches her lovely lovely personality.

I'm serving hard labour...oh its tough!

Shocking to see the state that some Staffie's come into us..but TLC and in less than a week you can see such improvement in her condition.

Kathy knows to sit, paw...other paw...and looks ernestly and keenly into your eyes. She doesn't seem to have been ill treated by her demeanour. Yet I could see her sleeping in rough conditions with a litter of pups without the enriched diet to feed her pups...and them sucking her dry. Must have had pups last season. Will spay her this week.
