  2. We've been using them for a couple of years. BTW. We are their February Featured Charity
  3. More than likely, it is an upset tummy. Our vet recommends Generic Pepcid(Famotadine 10mg) 1 tablet twice daily for 1 week. Older greys often get acid belly especially when their stomach is empty and she recommends 1 tablet given daily as a prerventative.
  4. We lost our best boy Tsar on Thanksgiving night to kidney failure. Rich & Jerrie
  5. We have a senior with horrible teeth also. We won't do a dental as we lost a 3 year having a dental. Our new vet gives occasioanl antibiotics when needed Rich
  6. Talked to Kim a little while ago and she is doing fine this morning. Rich
  7. Dr. Couto covered this at our seminar Saturday. Best treatment is 1/2 baby aspirin. Rich

  9. We had a dog come in from Florida a couple of months ago with a count of 10,000. It was done in house and they sent another sample out to a lab which came back within normal range. rich
  10. Hope you get good news when the doctor sees her this morning. Rich
  11. Here is what I could find in the short time that I have right now- 100 gram serving of chuck roast (beef, no bones) has 7 mg CA and 222 mg Phos 100 gr of white turkey meat has 13 mg CA and 186 mg Phos Since I lost my nutritbase program the only stats I can find for bones are listed as % Here are a couple: turkey neck - 1.54% CA and .78% Phos chicken back - 1.08% CA and .97% Phos Even tho they are calculated differently you can see that muscle meat has a high content of Phos. RMBs have a ratio that is close to the correct ratio of 1.2-2 to 1 (CA to Phos) Does this help? Are 222 mg and 186 mg high amounts per serving?? Rich
  12. We have started one of our pups with beginning signs of elevated kidney values on a raw diet ( mostly raw tripe) and taking him off kibble hopefully to help his kidneys. It is our understanding that we need to watch the amount of phosphorus in his diet. Aren't bones high in Phosphorus? Rich
  13. We can't believe this! We are so very, very sorry Patti and Fred. Jerrie & Rich

  16. There is an article in the Wall Street Journal from May 26th that the EPA is intensifying an evaluation of products applied directly to the skin due to a 53% increase of reported harmful side effects in 2008. Rich

  18. We have Tattoo's sister, Shyla, and think of him often. praying for a speedy recovery. Rich
  19. Our Sasha was just checked and she has a 321 ALT reading. My vet is concerned but not overly worroied yet. His approach is to add a little chicken liver to her meals every few days along with leafy green veggies. He'll check her values in about 3 months. If nothing changes then he will consider supplements. Rich
  20. Especially when you buy it from Greyhound Gang Rich
