Guys, I appreciate all the helpful advice, suggestions and research. This is what makes this site so great. This is information we can all benefit from.

I'm a real dumbass. I bring this shit on myself. The real reason I took this dog on, is b/c I saw him in his current state of health and thought I could help. By all means, I'm trying and we'll see how it goes, but I took this dog on 100% as a "learning experience". Gluten for punishment I guess....LOL!
