The last report I heard is that he is putting on weight nicely, and his fur is starting to grow. Where it hs grown back it seems quite long, so he is now thought to be 90% whippet with a bit of 'something else' in there.

There have been promises from his foster family of more pictures soon, so I'll pass these on as soon as they're ready.

I probably should make clear in case anyone didn't see the very first thread and is confused - Willow is not an Oldies Club dog, he is in foster on behalf of Houndsavers. My connection is just that I 'know' his foster family from another forum and he got to me - and a lot of others I suspect - so I thought I'd share his story with whippet lovers here.

Thank you so much to everyone who has sent good wishes to Willow and have taken such an interest. A special thank you to Jo for the very generous donation of the Keepers Mix. His foster mum reckons it has really speeded the process of healing and soothing his skin, and there are now definite signs of a new coat coming through.

So - some more pictures as requested!

First, just a reminder of Willow as he was on 26th December

Thanks so much for putting on the update Fiona

Willow looks so much healthier, the weight gain is amazing and his skin has definitely lost all the red sore bits, and its great that it looks like his coat is starting to sprout at last :thumbsup:

He looks so much happier, such an adorable little man - is he going to stay with his foster family permanently now?

Thanks again :huggles:

I somehow missed this thread while I was offline. Poor little Willow - :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: how could anyone have let him get into such a terrible state? I do despair of some members of the 'human race'.

It's lovely to see him improving so quickly in a loving, caring home. :wub: :huggles: :wub: He looks adorable. Well done to everyone involved. I'm sure he will go from strength to strength. :luck: :luck:
