THIS IS NICKEL.

THE NEXT PICTURES YOU SEE OF HIM ARE HARD TO LOOK AT. I WAS THERE THE DAY HE CAME IN AND I DON'T REMEMBER HIM BEING THIS BAD.AFTER EVERYTHING HE HAS BEEN THROUGH HE IS THE SWEETEST PITT BULL I HAVE EVER MET. HE NEVER FOUGHT ANY TREATMENTS AND HAS NEVER SHOWN ANY AGRESSION TOWARDS ANYTHING.

KEEP IN MIND THIS IS WHAT NICKEL LOOKS LIKE NOW! HE HAS BEEN ADOPTED AND HE IS ONE BIG HAPPY LUNK FULL OF ENERGY AND LOVE. THANK GOD!

THIS IS NICKEL IN JUNE OF 2009

THE PEOPLE WHO HAD NICKEL SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE HIM TO THE VET. BY THE PICTURES HE IS GROSSLEY EMACIATED AND NEGLECTED. THESE PEOPLE DID NOT SEEK OUR HELP. LUCKLY NICKEL WAS FOUND BY A VERY CONCERNED PERSON WHO CALLED US. WE LATER FOUND OUT WHO HAD OWNED HIM. THEY HAD THE NERVE TO ASK ME IF WHAT NICKEL HAD WAS CONTAGIOUS BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO GET ANOTHER DOG!!!!!!
I ANSWERED YES WHAT NICKEL SUFFERS FROM IS CONTAGIOUS. NOT HIS SKIN CONDITION BUT STUPIDITY ON THEIR PART!!!!!

WHAT SKIN CONDITION NICKEL HAS IS DEMODEX MANGE. HE HAD A PARTICULARLY BAD CASE BECAUSE OF THE SECONDARY BACTERIAL INFECTIONS WHICH CAUSED THE FLUID SACK IN HIS THROAT. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
