The recovery took a shade longer than I wanted it too and he's just short of the weight I wanted him to be but I'm not gonna complain....as I've said before it's been clear that Moses is not 5 years old and is actually still a baby....well between 1-2 years.....so here's a pic of him now....this actually maybe just short of his ideal weight for his age....he's still got a little bit to gain in my opinion but at least the bones have gone....
We got a lot of junk out of him just by feeding him raw foods ( he was just filled with thick mucus) once his body started the cleansing process it simply oozed out of every hole he had...as soon as we got that out of him he made a complete turn around ...just like I knew he would....he's now running around the yard and is now alert to his surroundings instead of looking like he's in a coma...
Here he is....

This is what he was before:

This has been a very encouraging and heart warming time for me.....he's really been through hell and back and it's refreshing to see him come a live and be happy!
He loves following everyone around the house and is just a lovebug at heart....
He's making so much progress and has started playing with the other dogs too....most of the progress he'll make now will be mental....
THANKS RAWFOODS/MOTHER NATURE!!!! B)
It turned out that Moses had pneomonia!!!!
We had had a few touch and go moments but I kept my faith in keeping it raw and he made it through....
I kept him on a raw diet and here's samples of what came out....

At one point he was pooping out pure thick stool shaped mucus for 2 weeks the colour of it went from green to white....at this time he had stopped eating and would drink very little....mucus was coming out of every hole he had.....then just out of the blue he made a full recovery and would eat/drink like there was no tomorrow.
To cut a long story short he's a new dog now, he's running and chasing squirels like he knows what he's doing.
The only negative thing for me was that he didn't get the chance to gain as much weight as I wanted him to in the time I had set but he had other issues that I wasn't aware of at the time and they took priority....
This has further enforced my commitment to staying raw and has shown me that the body will do all it can to heal itself once you give it the right material and opprtunity!
Here's Moses now

I've heard of rescues spending $1000's on getting rid of what Moses had...and to do it the raw way makes me very proud....
Moses is gonna be taking part in our 90 Day Bootcamp Challenge with me our goals are to get him fitter and build up his strength....
