Fat ACD
dogsnus wrote in news:c0nuak$1973sg$5@ID-
74476.news.uni-berlin.de: Now, what's the ideal weight for the average ACD? I'd wager 35-45 lbs, depending on height and muscle. Poor guy. I hope your in-laws can keep up with the diet, too. Still doesn't beat Reba, the Pembroke who was taken into rescue at about 72 lbs. (She is now a svelte 30ish with tons of loose skin similar to what gastric bypass patients get after surgery.) -- -Abby Pems, Aussie, and a Pug ****Remove shoes to reply**** |

Another 30lbs and he would have needed a skateboard to get around. (Very sweet dog, but from the front he looked like Eric Cartman's head.) Lee |

: WOW!! That is sad I wouldn't think a pem could get that big without rupturing... thank goodness she was rescued. And I thought my neighbors lab was bad (I still do) at about 85 lbs... She couldn't walk, the fat rolls on her neck were so big they cut off her ears and she had horrible, horrible ear infections. She couldn't move, so she had to eliminate on herself and had wretched urine scald and a very soiled rear. Her "armpits" and groin area were so red and inflamed, it was hard to look at her. She was always a sweet, sweet girl and is in a great home now. I tried to find her webpage again, but it's been taken down, so no pics. I'd love to have her pics up again to show her "before" and "after." There is a fabulous one of Reba *running,* and her loose skin was sucked out behind her from the force of her running. I don't know if they ever did anything about that skin or just let it be. -- -Abby Pems, Aussie, and a Pug ****Remove shoes to reply**** |
