Will brought home a Dane!!! He rescued her. She is wonderful! She just got home last night and already she is with the pack and doing amazingly well. She came from a divorce situation.
Anyhow, to skip the long drawn out story, she is very very thin. She probably has worms, maybe even heartworms. We are going to make a journey to North Carolina so Will's dad (a veterinarian) can take care of her and we can get her back to health. She's 4 1/2 years old, a fawnequin, and she is just so lovely. We want to give her a new name for her new life with us but we haven't thought of one yet.
Everything happened so fast, I am still having a hard time believing we really have her!!! But she is in the room with me right now curled up in a space too small for her, listening to the dog show on animal planet!!!
So... my question to any Dane owners who might be reading... what is a good safe way to encourage a Great Dane to gain some weight??? Obviously with this one there is probably a health condition behind it, but... should we give her puppy food? She was fed Pedigree by her former people and we will be switching her over the next week, but we really aren't sure what to go with.
Help? and... oh my god we have a new dog!!!!!!
