Thanks Urleft and Ban.  What happened was after going to the vet the first day, this fellow left and disappeared.  I thought he had had a fatal reaction to the heartworm shot, which can happen if the dog already has heartworm before the shot is given.  So after five days, I was hooked up with a new puppy via a friend's tip.  Then the next day, this guy comes home to stay, like a ghost from the grave.  So now I have three!  Which is okay.  Three is a lot of time and money, but I can do it.  But three is my limit.  I know with four I will go bonkers.  Sorry that the timing is off.

Taken yesterday.  He's a happy camper now.  A very sweet and playful fellow.  Sorry for the poor phone photo quality.  He folded his right front leg under.  There's nothing wrong with the leg.

Woooo, super.  I am a dog lover.   

Three quotes I love:
 
"All dogs go to heaven"
 
"we don't deserve them"  (We humans, them dogs)
 
and by the great Will Rogers:

Good quotes, Urleft!

Bellingham, like his two pack mates at home, loves to ride the motorcycle.  If we cross paths with anyone from the forum around town, please say hello.  All three have biggish, eye-catching pink ID tags, partly to guard against someone getting lost, and partly for increased visibility near the occasional car.

Mitch I don't access Buriram Expats very often so I have only just read this thread.
It was so good to see the photos and the improvement he has made under your care.
How is he now?

[colin2012]

Mitch.
Sorry please ignore my post for some reason I thought your before and after pictures were the end of the thread.
I have just seen the rest

Hi Colin and Everyone-

Bellingham is doing great, thanks.  He always walked with some lameness in his hind legs, and when the vet did some x-rays, he found that the hip bones had been pretty badly messed up in some sort of vehicle accident a while before Bellingham and I met.  The accident was too long ago for surgery to help, but the doctor recommended a green-lipped mussel extract from New Zealand to reduce inflammation and pain.  It was a bit pricey initially, but I was able to order some at a lower price from the States.

Bellingham's taking the green-lipped mussel extract every day now, and it's been pretty miraculous really.  He always walked with a little or a lot of pain, depending on the moment, but with the mussel extract he can now outrun my motorcycle on a dirt road.  He runs, jumps, and wrestles with the two other furry ones at home and is just smiling a great deal at his restored mobility and freedom from the nonstop pain.

He also had surgery last month to remove his undescended testicle.  Only one of his engines had dropped into place as it normally should.  The other one was still inside his belly, and it's very dangerous to leave it like that, because it increases a dog's risk of cancer by about 10 times the normal rate.  So the surgery removed the abnormal one, but we left the normal one intact, because I had a very bad experience neutering another male dog in the past.  Females do not seem to have much trouble from being spayed, but with males it can really turn their health and well-being upside down and irreversibly.  But Bellingham's doing fine now "flying on one engine".  :- )

Cheers, All.
