Neither of them had mange.
One had fungal and bacterial skin infections that probably started with flea dermatitis. His before and after pics are here: Index of /cody
The other is my foster Sunny D who I have now. He ended up with a diagnosis of Alopecia X (psedo cushings). Here are his before and after pics: Attachment 347614 Attachment 347615
My suggesion is to contact United Yorkie Rescue. They have foster homes in Florida and should be able to deal with this pup if they have room for him. |
Linda - these pictures are amazing!!!! They both completely blossomed - and so shiny too. I love seeing before/after pics from rescues bc they lift the spirits. Maybe you need to keep a thread of before/after in the rescue section

To the OP - I'm glad someone could take him. I hope you'll still be able to update us on his condition
