Bet you never thought the day would come when you'd be excited about gaseous emissions!!

I am so very sorry for the loss of your handsome Cash. You shared so much...hopefully the memory of those times will get you through the next few days, weeks, months....

Hope it is just a passing 'bug'. If he has not eaten .. or thrown up what he did eat... he will not poop. I wouldn't look for poo until tomorrow...from today's breakfast.

So sorry for the loss of your very pretty Frankie. Remember the good times....

How is he this morning???

Sorry Dustin is still not feeling well. Is he keeping the water down? I have zero expreience with tummy issues in dogs, but my gastric ulcer-prone horse did very, very well on Omeprazole.

Sending heartfelt condolences from the other side of Ontario. Sugar was obviously a much-loved hound.....Run free Sugar.

I look at their weight first. Then poop and coat. Energy levels. In 30 years of owning mutilple dogs of assorted breeds we have never had any picky eaters. We fed Iams for years and years, then switched to Kirklands Lamb/Rice about 4 years ago. All dogs did well on both of those. Kept their weight. good coats/skin tons of energy. We had only one older Dobe with a 'senstive' tummy and another aged Springer with skin issues. We raw-fed both of them and the issues went away. Our Greys were all on the Kirklands. We had no 'issues' at all that we or the vet could really say..."oh, we need to do something to improve ____" However, six months ago we made the switch to raw - and yes...I was very nervous about this but our vet was very supportive. We have a local supplier of it ... we used his food 20 years ago for those two older dogs. And now...we'll never go back to kibble. The main benefit we see is in their coats and teeth. And only half the amount of poop.

This sums it up very nicely. You will get there, Do not despair. Just slow down. Give him time, space, lots of routine, and boundaries. You will have a great dog! Time and patience.

He's lookin' good!!

So sorry for the loss of your Twister. You made many special memories together and I hope those happy memories have helped you get through those rough days.

So very sorry for the loss of your Homer. Remember the good times...

for you an your boy

Run Free.

The Recovery people 'may' make a canine version, but the horse stuff is more economical. I believe it is more expensive than the Cosequin. I had to get my Cosequin shipped in out of the US as it is insanely expensive up here...we can only get it from our vet and it is almost double the US price, even when you factor in high shipping rates. The Recovery people said to feed dogs 1/4 tsp per 20 pounds. Nixon gets 3/4 tsp daily. He's a smaller boy...just about 67 pounds.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your hansome boy. The photos are wonderful. Remember those good times and smile.

No arguments. I have 5 horses here. I switched from Cosequin to Recovery EQ. I have seen such amazing results on the pony with bad hocks that I now have Nixon on it.

I get beef bones from a local butcher...he has bags of them in his freeze. I feed mostly knuckes, which they can chew on for a long time. We keep them in the freezer and the dogs are fine with them frozen. I also get bags of chicken backs from the butcher...also kept in the freezer and fed frozen. Mmmmm. I don't like ribs...they splinter too easily.

Kara was a such beautiful girl. It takes a heart both strong and loving to make the right decision, and sometimes the loving choice is not the easy choice. Marc

Don't reuse the needle and don't inject the unsued stuff back into the bottle. It will contaminate it. Just get a new needle and put in onto the same syringe. 1" is too long.... I use a 1" on my horse!!! Make sure the gage is not too big.

Glad to read a happy update. :good luck that things continue this way

Since we started feeding raw a few months ago, our hounds teeth have never been better. We also feed beef bones - right from the freezer - to them once or twice a week. The small amount of tarter that was on their teeth has totally gone. Our vet was here yesterday and commented on their sprakling white teeth! I would never do a 'routine' yearly dental. Get a scecond opinion!
