My Foster Dane...

Well I thought that I would share the wonderful Dane that I am getting to foster for the next several months.

Her name is stitch and for now I have to get her through some medical things before she can be adopted. She had a case of Trigeminal Neuritis, I had to hand fed her canned dog food every 4 hours and hand fed her water as she couldn't eat or drink on her own. Then we found out that she is heart worm positive as well. She is 2 years old. I have her about 90 % over the Trigeminal Neuritis, she is back to being able to eat dry food and is drinking on her own again. The group that she is through is a wonderful group, they really care about all of the dogs.

what a beautiful dane. I love danes. what exactly is Trigeminal Neuritis? I've never heard of that before. always glad to see foster dogs, or any foster animal, doing well in a good environment.

What a beautiful girl! Looks like she is very happy in her foster home:gj:

I agree. She's a beautiful dog. I hope she continues to improve with you, and makes it through the heartworm treatment okay as well.

Here's a link that explains Trigemial Neuritis...

Nice Dane. Great job rehabilitating her.

I love Danes--they're beautiful dogs, and that girl is no exception. I feel about Danes how I feel about Retics, though--beautiful animals, but I fear they'd be too much of a handful for me. You're doing a wonderful thing for that girl and I hope she makes it through the heart worm treatment with flying colors, so she can find a perfect forever home.

Awww she is adorable. Thank you so much for being a foster :hug:

Beautiful pup! You're doing a wonderful thing nursing her back to health! Best of luck with the heartworm treatment.:gj:

I was raised with a Dane... My parents got him when I was one and a half years old... and he was my babysitter, my pillow, my protector, and my best friend for the first 7-8 years of my life.
I have a SERIOUS soft spot for the Breed, and you just made my day! Thank you for sharing her story, and being so wonderful. :bow:

Great job! Hope she gets a great home!! Keep us posted on how she's doing!:)
I did dane rescue for years. Loved working with danes, we always referred to them as the heartbreak breed though due to their shorter life expectancies. I had danes for many years. I love the merles. I had a gorgeous uncropped merle named Ginger.

Just thought that I would update everyone on Miss Stitch. She is totally over her Trigeminal Neuritis (it's inflamation of the Chewing muscles and nevers, the muscles and nerves stop working and the animal has to get prednazone for at least 5 weeks to get them over it, it also affects the tear production, so she had to get drops in her eyes to help protect them). Now we have to wait until September, that's when she will under go the heart worm treatment. All is going well in my Dane world.

lovely that you're doing this for this nice animal. good for you. great update! keep up the fantastic work.

Wow! She's a beauty! My mom just adopted a Dane and he's such a doll! I bet you enjoy having that big girl around! I'm so glad to hear she's doing well!

Is she an inside dog?
