This is Skinny. Bev took her to the vets today. She has hookworm and lyme disease but luckily both are treatable and the lyme disease is in the early stages. The vet said she is a Foxhound and needs lots of space to run. The marks on her are from buckshot. The vet said they are healing nicely and she should be fine. She is already coming into heat. She is approx 2 years old and weighs 32 lbs. Bev has her on Pedigree puppy food to pick up her weight. God bless Bev's husband he has given her 5 baths so far to clean her up (She was covered in dog feces he said and blood.) meanwhile Bev has been treating her wounds with medicine. She looks great! We have to wait for her heat cycle to finish before she can be spayed. The vet believes she has had at least one litter.
Some concerns Bev has are as follows. Neither of us are familiar with the Foxhound breed. We were wondering if anyone has had one or knows them well. According to the vet Skinny needs lots of space to run and plenty of exercise. Bev's house is small as is her yard and it is unfenced. So Bev is concerned whether Skinny will be happy since her dogs are indoor dogs and only go out to go to the bathroom. The vet said that Foxhounds are famous for roaming and hunting. So Bev is a little concerned. Any advice would be helpful.
