Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Fri May 24, '13 7:22am PST  I'm sure this has been asked and answered numerous times but is there a simple, at home solution for getting rid of tear stains? I'm pretty sure Sparkles' stains started up with her diet and allergies but I'm pretty sure I've got that under control now. I just need to fade out and eliminate the remaining stains. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Tue May 21, '13 4:04am PST  Thanks I know they're going to love it up there with more space and room to actually run and play. Rocky is going to love the fireplace lol. It's just the change that's making me nervous along with the confusion of packing, moving, and unpacking everything. I may be more stressed then they will be lol. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Hernia?

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Mon May 20, '13 4:39pm PST  She made it through her surgery well and is back home. She's feeling pretty good and the roughest thing is keeping her calm. She keeps wanting to jump up on the couch and stuff. It makes me cringe every time I don't get to her first. Hopefully we can keep her under control long enough for her to heal without hurting herself. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > moving-how to make the transition smoother

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Sat May 18, '13 4:26am PST  Hi all! After about 9 years of living in a tiny little house in the city with almost no yard, we are moving! Our new house is up the mountain on 1.3 acres bordering many many acres of woods and state game lands. All of my fur kin have always lived here. How do I make this change less stressful for them? Sparkles is strange and fearful of new places. Dreamy and Rocky should be ok, just a bit confused. I do worry a little that Dreamy may mark the new territory. And Monro (the cat), I have no idea how he'll react. We do not have access to the area right now as the current owners do still live there so taking the dogs up there to "visit" is out of the question. Any advice? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Hernia?

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Sat May 18, '13 4:13am PST  Well, the vet says that is an umbilical hernia and needs to be removed. He was very surprised that it didn't show up until recently and that she's already been spayed and everything. She goes in Monday morning for surgery. Hopefully all goes smoothly. We're moving in three weeks. I'd like for her to be healed up and healthy before we get the big yard to run and play in lol. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Wed May 15, '13 5:44pm PST  I set up an appointment for tomorrow. That'd be nice if it's just scar tissue but it wasn't there before the other day and I can massage it back inside. I'll let you know what they tell me tomorrow. Fingers crossed for either a simple explanation or a quick easy fix. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Hernia?

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Wed May 15, '13 3:45am PST  I just noticed last night a small bump on Sparkles belly right where her spray was. It's not large and can be easy massaged back in. Does this sound like a hernia to you? Anybody have experience with this or know what it costs to have corrected? Or even if it needs to be corrected?

Food & Nutrition > Good grain free no poultry food?

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Sat Apr 6, '13 4:36am PST  Sparkles has poultry, egg and grain allergies also. We are on a rotation between nature's variety instinct salmon meal formula and wellness core ocean. Both are excellent, grain free foods and not as expensive as Orijen (though I would feed that if we could). Her allergy issues have really subsided though she still gets an occasional ear infection which I blame on seasonal allergies. She no longer scratches her face like she used to our bites at her paws like before. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Grain-inclusive dog food and yeast infections in ears

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Sat Apr 6, '13 4:13am PST  We had this problem with Sparkles too but it turned out that she's not only allergic to eggs, but grains and all poultry as well. Maybe try switching to a fish based or lamb based and see how that goes. We do a rotation between wellness core ocean and nature's variety instinct salmon. They are pricy but without the grains, you don't have to feed as much of it. Sparkles eats 2 cups a day but she's still a growing girl. Rocky (35lbs) and Dreamy (60lbs) each only eat about 1 cup a day. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Sparkles Wait for me!!     Barked: Thu Mar 21, '13 3:57pm PST  Somewhere in between our adventures with solid gold and nature's variety instinct, we tried TOTW and used it for a while. It did work great for us also and was the first grain free food we fed. The only reason we switched was we found out that Sparkles was allergic to poultry and the only formula they ate was the high Prairie one. Once She Would switch To adult formula, there would be chicken in it. We did try the Pacific stream formula and it was good but I wanted something better with a higher meat content, so we switched to nature's variety instinct. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
