Sua Suay Goes Home

Well its been a few months now and the treatment of Ivomec on Sua Suays skin is having little of no effect. This poor dog has had Mange for so long, he has lost all his hair, his skin has turned black and that say the vets is indicative of long term suffering and maybe no return for the hair.

So today, he returns to his 7-11 home in Huay Kaew Road (Opposite Dunkin Dognuts sp ? pun intended) a few kilos heavier than when he left.

He quickly marked his territory with a load of fresh wee and did a tour of his estate ( The pavement, the shop forecourt and the vendor area where folks get their clothes mended in the street)

He looked happy.
