Prayers Needed For Karen And Her Little Girl, Penny

[Guest bluefawn]

I have no clue if the incontinence is related to the food switch, but I am a big believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy. Was there a health related reason for the new food? IMHO, I would feed the miraculous Miss Penny whatever she was eating before the incontinence started and not change another thing to see what happens.

Oh, and give her as many belly rubs, ear scritches and nose kisses as she can stand! That always works around our house! Still sending boat loads of prayers for her continued good health!

 

Hey Linda, I had purchased the IAMS because at the time, I was unable to get to Sams to get her the food she had been eating. She had been on Exceed, which had been recommended to me by another greyhound person. But after reading the info available online and then looking at the ingredients on the bag, it's a wonder Penny had not been sick before now! ugh! But she seems to be doing well on the Wellness formula, although I am still gradually introducing it as should be done when switching to another type of food. She had been on Purina One before the Exceed, and all of my greys have been on that. Penny was raised on Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy (IAMS brand), and then IAMs once she reached a year old. But I had switched them all to Exceed or Purina One, whichever was available at the time. Penny is my last surviving grey, and I wish I had learned about pet food ingredients before now. But it would not have saved any of them. Lydia was 7 when I adopted her in 1993, Sassy was 5 when I adopted her in 1994, Evan was 1 1/2 yrs. old when I adopted him in 1995, Ladybug was 2 when I adopted her in 1995, Nash was 7 when I adopted him in 1998, and Katie was 7 when I adopted her in 2005. (Only Katie and Penny are still living) I adopted Penny in 1998 when she was 10 weeks old. She is one of the original 3 Mississippi puppies - if you were/are on the Greyhound-L, you know who she is ))

Thank you again for your prayers - they are very much appreciated )

Hey Karen! I am glad you are now feeding Wellness! :-) GOOD STUFF! I am sooo glad you baby girl is doing sooo well, and that we will be able to do our first aid seminar again this year at Mt. Hounds :-)) Good luck with your classes! Give a HUGE hug to your furdaughter, Penny, and your skindaughter, Amy, for me! Love, DEE

 

 

 

Me too, Dee! Mt Hounds was the furthest thing from my mind when Penny was so sick! I am also happy that we will be coming again this year. Amy is coming too!! Yippee!

Penny is still as CUTE as ever! :-) She looks GREYT!

[Guest bluefawn]

Yes, she is a one-of-a-kind girl! It really is going to just kill me when I eventually do lose her, but I hope to have at least a couple more years with her!
