Mikhail (at- Rainbow- Bridge) Have puddle,- will splash     Barked: Wed Nov 7, '12 8:00am PST  terrific thread! four years of mistakes! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Mikhail (at- Rainbow- Bridge) Have puddle,- will splash     Barked: Sat Nov 3, '12 3:55am PST  Miki had Colitis. He was on a home cooked diet with NO chicken or beef. Lot's of goat meat and vegetables and home-made curd. But he was still very itchy and regularly had hot spots. With the help of Dogster and my vet, I gradually switched his morning meals over to raw meat(mainly goat meat). his itchiness and hot spots went away. his poops were great. and his overall health was fantastic. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Coconut oil

Mikhail (at- Rainbow- Bridge) Have puddle,- will splash     Barked: Thu Sep 13, '12 12:38am PST  i was wondering if feeding a bit of raw coconut every other day would be as beneficial (if not better) as the supplement oil. same wondering for (cooked)fish. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Does diet affect temperament?

Mikhail (at- Rainbow- Bridge) Have puddle,- will splash     Barked: Sun Jul 15, '12 4:37am PST  it just seems to me that after putting our adopted 2 and a half year old male lab on a beef diet (from chicken), he's more calm. he's never had any red meat in his previous home. could be that it's just a coincidence with the time it took for him to settle down with us. he's been with us for almost two months now. the calmer behavior started about ten days ago - right about the time i started him on 100gms of beef a day(breakfast). my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > Does diet affect temperament?

Mikhail (at- Rainbow- Bridge) Have puddle,- will splash     Barked: Fri Jul 13, '12 9:25am PST  Would a change from cooked chicken to cooked beef in a dog's diet make him more mellow? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Clinical depression and your dog

Mikhail (at- Rainbow- Bridge) Have puddle,- will splash     Barked: Sun Sep 25, '11 11:58am PST  sorry, part of my last post got deleted. my depression only puts me in very low moods, but i'm always able to do my daily work. which is why i was only worried about him becoming depressed, not neglected. After reading everyone's thoughts and experiences, i think bringing a dog into my life, would not harm him. thank you everyone for sharing my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Clinical depression and your dog

Mikhail (at- Rainbow- Bridge) Have puddle,- will splash     Barked: Sun Sep 25, '11 1:50am PST  So as I understand it, while dogs may pick up on their owner's sadness or depressed mood, they do not usually suffer from it as a long term mood. so a person suffering from depression probably would not pass on that mood to their dog. of course each dog is unique, but for the most part, dogs don't get depressed (barring events like death or moving house). my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Clinical depression and your dog

Mikhail (at- Rainbow- Bridge) Have puddle,- will splash     Barked: Wed Sep 21, '11 4:59am PST  This topic would probably just generate more questions instead of answers. Never-the-less, all of you have helped me to kind of 'get a handle on it'. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Mikhail (at- Rainbow- Bridge) Have puddle,- will splash     Barked: Wed Sep 21, '11 4:49am PST  Hi Vance. It's good to see an old face. After Miki died, I sort of stopped coming here, so it's kinda like returning home, since all of us care so much for our dogs. Reading all the posts, especially yours, it seems that how a dog will respond to clinical depression/schizophrenia/bi-polar disorder/etc is probably unique to the dog. Having said that, for a dog, who seems to be quite sensitive to emotions (like Vance), the effect of living with a clinically depressed/etc person would be unhealthy. But in Vance's case, could it(reaction to sadness) also be due to his history? If a dog who has gone through a period of domestic instability and rejection be more prone to sadness/depression than a dog who has a happier/more stable history. Following this thought, a dog like Vance would be terribly unhappy living with a clinically depressed/etc person. This then brings me to another thought. While living with a clinically depressed/etc person, would a rescue dog be more prone to depression than a dog who grows up with such a person from puppyhood? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
