It’s been a while since we had an update on Frank and Delilah. So what’s been going on in their world?
Frank is still the funny, floppy, trip hazard of a land seal he’s always been! His surgery has all healed wonderfully, his eyes, thank fully are so much better now they are clean and had all the medication they needed. We are so grateful he doesn’t have to go through any surgery. Some hounds can avoid this, some are not so lucky.
Frank’s neutering, although incredibly complex due to the neglect he has suffered, has healed amazingly. He can now walk around without catching and splitting the skin of his scrotum
Delilah has had a struggle to get her last bout of skin infections under control. Medication, careful bathing with malaseb, and a professional groom, has got this back under control. It was so bad, her foster family could smell her as soon as she walked into a room. Poor girl but this is now, again, under control.
Delilah was a real concern for some time. We all thought that Frank would be the one with on going issues. Instead it was this lovely girl.
As for her urine issues, after countless tests, antibiotics and specialist food this seems to have overcome as well.
A phantom pregnancy and season later, Delilah is now healthy enough to be spayed which is booked in this week; this has been delayed several times to ensure she is healthy enough.
Emotionally and medically she has taken a lot longer than Frank to settle and come into her own
Although very much still bonded, they are happy to spend time apart from each other, are walked separately, and have made friends with other resident dogs and spend time with them instead.
It’s been a long 5 and a half months for this wonderful duo to overcome their past. The future is most definitely bright for them.
Thank you everyone who has supported these two wonderful hounds. From their incredibly sad, neglected condition to hounds that are secure, happy and healthy. We are so proud of you Frank and Delilah! Thank you to you all that made this happen for them.
