On November 20th, 2012 Aries was diagnosed with a severe infection of uncertain origin in his hind left leg.
The infection came on suddenly and became life threatening very quickly. The infection was throughout his entire leg.  At one point his thigh area was swollen to 26 inches around and his ankle was swollen to 8 inches around.  Aries was treated for 6 days at Grayslake Animal Emergency and Treatment Center. Aries has recovered and has been adopted to a wonderful family.

Two fundraisers were held in December to help Aries. Central Bark Grayslake
Dec. 2nd and K-9 Playtime Dec. 16th.
