Sassy Princess and the- Pea     Barked: Mon Mar 11, '13 11:44am PST  And Sassy would be licking and scooting with a couple of drops that needed to come out.......... Even when she was leaning in and helping express it herself there would be maybe a teaspoonful of gunk trapped. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sassy Princess and the- Pea     Barked: Fri Dec 30, '11 8:33am PST  Chouchou, the photo is there. You must hunt down the sneaky space dogster puts in the link address. If your dog hasn't ever had mackerel before that is a lot for the first time. I cut 5 ounce sardines into 3 bits and offered up one every few days for a while before Max got to eat a whole one. Some dogs are suspicious of new foods and new foods can upset the tummy if fed in large amounts right off the bat. Max won't eat a new food if that is all that is on offer but once he has started eating he will at least pick up the new food. Every dog has their own way of treating new stuff. Sassy would inhale anything she could get her mouth around and suffer the consequences! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Pug, difficulty walking

Sassy Princess and the- Pea     Barked: Thu Dec 29, '11 8:21am PST  I put velcro fastened booties on Sassy for walks, she loved having them on as her knuckles stopped hurting when she banged and scuffed her rear feet along during walks. I took them off in the house though as they held in moisture which wouldn't be good for the feet. Worked great, the fur even grew back. The tile and carpet in the house didn't bother her knuckles much, just the longer walks on pavement. Maybe you can find velcro fastenings on breathable booties that would stay on better? Wrapping the top with vet wrap would work but not sure that is a good long term solution. Just for walks those balloon looking booties could work as well but they are definitely not a good long term solution. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Nupro causing dog to be sick?

Sassy Princess and the- Pea     Barked: Sat Nov 12, '11 9:34am PST  Long ago I tried a similar supplement and gave up. I probably was just giving too much too soon, try cutting the amount down a lot more and increasing very slowly. Nupro does have liver which commonly causes problems and flax which can also cause trouble. I don't remember liver but the supplement I gave up on had flax and I have avoided giving flax since. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Costco Glucosamine

Sassy Princess and the- Pea     Barked: Sat Nov 5, '11 9:00am PST  Sassy used the Nature Made brand from Costco. I threw away the Kirkland brand, I could tell easily it wasn't as effective as the Nature Made with MSM. This worked great Nature Made TripleFlex Triple Strength Supplement 750 mg This one I threw away Kirkland Signature Extra Strength Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate but you might try this one Kirkland Signature Extra Strength Glucosamine with MSM my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sassy Princess and the- Pea     Barked: Fri Sep 30, '11 5:49pm PST  If you add up all the chocolate in an Advent calendar it might be the size of a couple Hersey bars is all. The very first week Sassy was here we forgot about the 3 pound box of soccer candy bars on the fireplace mantel. She ate nearly all of them but did hid a few in the living room. It was a dangerous dose for a 42 pound dog and even though she vomited much of it up at home and the rest at the vet office she was still climbing the walls for a couple days. She was alone less than an hour and at the vet within 15 minutes of getting home and seeing the mess. She never stopped loving chocolate and got into semi sweet bits and cocoa other times but never got as sick again. Never read about sage before. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Raw fed dogs don't stink

Sassy Princess and the- Pea     Barked: Fri Aug 19, '11 7:01am PST  I would agree with the skin oil thing, Sassy stunk until her anal sac issues mostly cleared up once she was on a fresh food diet. She probably didn't collect as much stink as she was so old at that point. It wasn't the oil on her coat that smelled, she still had a nice water proof coat even as a geriatric dog. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Senior Dogs > Older dog recovering from surgery-tips?

Sassy Princess and the- Pea     Barked: Thu Aug 4, '11 9:51pm PST  Sassy was 13 years old when she had her 'plastic surgery' [lump removal] and eyelid growth removal. Main problem I had was keeping her on the floor as she was used to being on the furniture. Even though that was when her kidney disease was first discovered she had no problems healing and her attitude was terrific. I wonder if she realized her eye didn't hurt any more? It had only been rubbing for a couple days before surgery was done but it had to hurt plenty. Keep a leash on to slow him down and loads of lovies and he will be fine. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Rice and chicken breast diet?

Sassy Princess and the- Pea     Barked: Fri Jul 22, '11 3:09pm PST  I would ease him into it slowly. Sassy ate boiled chicken and rice and I had to add a bit of beef liver, a bit of oyster, a B vitamin complex and some multimineral plus the calcium. It tastes good but it sure isn't a complete diet! Max needed to lose weight and high protein low fat in big meals did the trick. He actually only lost half the weight gain as part of the weight was retained as muscle. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sassy Princess and the- Pea     Barked: Wed May 4, '11 1:10pm PST  Pepto didn't help Sassy plus the resulting poop is incredibly gross. I have always had terrific luck getting rid of tummy upsets feeding super low fat rice and chicken in tiny meals frequently after skipping at least one meal. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
