Guest monica Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I am new here and have read the entire thread on this beautiful boy named Outlaw. His smile is unforgettable. His shoulder being pushed out so far leads me to believe he has been in awful pain, both nerve and soft tissue, like a tendonitis. Soft tissue takes so long to heal. I am praying for Outlaw and you for healing, love and no more pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheUnrulyHound Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 So glad your pup is feeling better! Reposting the following from Food forum several months back: Not a miracle recipe, but most dogs seem to enjoy this. I baked it like a meatloaf and used it as a protein supplement or canned food substitute until Batman got sick; then he had to have everything pureed so I cooked it on the stovetop and ran it through my Osterizer: 1 lb - 2 lbs chicken or turkey 1 lb ground beef - OK if it's quite fatty because you're cutting the fat with poultry 2-3 eggs with shells (1 egg for each pound meat) 1 cup frozen spinach 1/2 cup frozen peas (must be cooked and then pureed - for the fiber; firms stools) 2-3 tablespoons molasses (blackstrap is best - lots of potassium; also adds palatability) 2-3 teaspoons powdered kelp (optional - for trace minerals) For the eggshells, I rinse them out and zap them in the microwave for 30 seconds, pat dry, zap again if they're still too damp, then powder them with mortar and pestle or coffee grinder (or just crush well with back of spoon). If you're going to bake as meatloaf, thaw the spinach first but no need to drain. If peas are not cooked and pureed, they'll just go through the dog whole. You can puree (= blend into mush) in an Osterizer (might have to add a little water), old-fashioned Foley food mill, Cuisinart, etc. For us, they work better than most anything else at providing fiber for good stools. You can make it with all one kind of meat. If just chicken or turkey, it'll be pretty low-calorie, though. You can also add other things -- a minced carrot or apple, for example. Cook on stovetop until meat is no longer pink or mix all together and bake like a people meatloaf. If you're not feeding anything else, figure 1-1.5 lbs of meat per dog per day. Here it is Kristin I skip the peas and add extra spinach, I don't have kelp powder so I use wheatgerm. It is really easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheUnrulyHound Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Well I don't read them to him but I DO deliver every single kiss and hug And thats the truth Well today has been a little tougher for him, but it is because his shoulder seems to be bothering him again. He has been laying around all day and did not get up like he usually does to greet Jason when he got home from work. Even Jason could tell something was up right away. He isn't crying out but just isn't walking so well in the front again. Tonite he seems to be restless, I fed him at 6 and he slept a while then he was in Emmas room with us for storytime standing and kinda pacing at around 8 when we were done there he went to the kitchen so I fed him his remaining meal which I usually save for about 10:30. Then he wanted to go out, so we went. came back in and he went to the kitchen so I gave him a treat. Then he wanted to go out again so we did...... came in, back to the kitchen??? He got a drink then I tried to get him to lay down. He lay down for a minute or two then went back to the door! So I looked at Jason and said "Your turn" Jason went back out with him and Outlaw just kinda stood out there and wandered a bit didn't need to pee or anything. So They came back in and Outlaw went to the bedroom. sooooooooooooooo we think, "ok thats it right?" He dissappears for a few minutes back there then comes BACK TO THE DOOR! Sheesh I don't know what is with him! So Jason got the flashlight and went out with him for a good 5-10 minutes and said that he just wandered, stopped here and there and wandered some more. Anyhow they just now came in and now Outlaw is laying by the front door like he still wants to go out but is too tired. This is VERY weird. I have no idea what he wants or what his motive is? It is nice outside tonite but I would think that him being uncomfortable today would make him want to be off his feet..... any ideas??? this has been a total of two hours of this.

Guest TheUnrulyHound Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 He just now went to bed..... we will see how long it lasts. His meds are given at 11 so maybe those will knock him out for the rest of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Energy11 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 The wandering might be pain, or maybe his brain is getting a little "fuzzy," from the meds, pain, etc. hard to say.

LaFlaca Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Hey Holly & Outlaw. Just checkin' in to see how our boy is feeling today. About the wandering...our Ridgeback did that as he got older. Kind of a doggie Alzheimers. There is medication to help with the cognitive problems. Is Outlaw still on Neurontin? I took Neurontin in very high doses for Fibromyalgia pain and it made me kinda fuzzy-brained. Anyway, lots of gentle scritches and hugs coming your way. P.S. Wendy loves her new collar. Thank you!
