Elmer is doing AWESOME! Take a look at that happy face 😍 There is no denying this boy is feeling much better. After a full five days of dewormer - he lost an extra 7 pounds of worms! (Okay, so we didn't really weigh them, but OMG at the worms.) And he's not done! He will need another round of dewormer before he's cured and whipworm free! In the meantime, he has a pal that has been making sure he has been well fed. She's been cooking him nice, warm, hearty meals as a little "extra" every day. He now LOVES his food bowl, and anyone that will offer him a snack. Thanks to all of his yummy dinners - he has gained around 8 pounds of body mass in a little under a week. The scales are only showing a 1 pound gain, but we can't forget all of the pounds of worms that had to come out after his first weigh-in. This is all great news, and huge gains in just 1 week. He isn't out of the woods yet. He still has a few other medical issues. He also has the dreaded heartworms 😥 Please keep Elmer in your thoughts as he fights battle after battle to finally learn what love is. #shawpbr #elmer #pitbull #pitbullsofinstagram #adopt #donate #educate #shawpbrdotorg https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5OXESh0R_/?igshid=2h4xvr9wi6t3
