Oh. Good dog!
My shepard, Anne, who we found in the pine barrons of NJ, almost starved to death had a very severe case of heart worms. My vet, GBH, Told us straight out that the prognosis was not very good. He used an aresnic compound over several months. The outcome was wonderful. We had Anne for about ten more years. Never a more loyal dog than her, I ever had.
Hope all goes well for this darling.
peace

Hi,
Glad Cooper is settling in so well and happier about people around his food bowl. If he still gulps his food down, there are food bowls that have divisions in them and others with raised surfaces (hard to explain -- like a series of plastic covered fingers coming up from under the food bowl) that will slow his eating. As you know, bloat can be deadly in large dogs, so it would help to slow down his eating -- maybe that will happen anyway as he builds up more confidence. Sounds like he really found his perfect home.
cheers

Good luck to you both.
