We got bobbi at 9 month out of the local paper, the man had allowed his hair to become so overgrown it was matted, on taking him to the groomers she shaved him down and informed us he had fleas, on a trip to the vet he informed us bobbi infact had sarcoptic mange 8... it cost me £300 for baths and treatments. The man we got him off also openly admitted that bobbi then named bob was kept in his crate for up to 12 hours a day while he and his wife worked, on seeing the cage bobbi couldnt stand up or turn around in it. I had to have him at this point! I just wanted to get him out of that situation, after paying the man £300 for him, and loading him into our car my OH let rip, i mean really let rip he told him exactly what we thought of him all the time not knowing that bobbi also had mange under his thick coat! .. I was devastated for bobbi. His skin was flaky, he has bald patches, his ears were crusty and raw, and his skin would bleed :'( .. He is now happy and healthy :-) ... On a more positive note Lexi was from a friend and weve had her from being 10 week old :-) ... X
