Ellie CGC Born to be Wild     Barked: Thu May 2, '13 9:33pm PST  Last time I had any access to Nutro product info, they were supposed to be discontinuing the use of meniadone (synthetic vitamin K) in their Natural Choice and Ultra lines...but I haven't read their ingredients list in a few months...will go check this weekend. Gotta read them ingredients labels, eh! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

I needed emergency surgery for bladder stones about three years ago, they iz very bad things. But now I am okay and the stones never came back after a diet change for me. So you iz gonna be fine I am sure! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Plus Power of the Paw > My surgery...asking PPotP for my Cindy

Ellie CGC Born to be Wild     Barked: Fri Feb 22, '13 8:43pm PST  So a few weeks ago, Cindy kept staring at me when we wuz out going walkies...cuz for a few days I kinda had loose stool, then for a few days was kinda hard...and she noticed me straining little bit... And I thought, hoo boy, I know this is gonna get me to the vet for sure. And even though she put me on home cooking and I started being more regular, she said at my age (11 1/2) she had to keep careful eye out for me. K, so we all know how this wound up...into the vet, and they poke and prod all over your butt (boy I hate that), and my regular vet, who I really do love, says she felt something tiny but hard on my left anal gland. Geez...next day Cindy has me at a special surgical clinic, and they were OPERATINT ON MY BUTT...yikes... Cindy said the surgeon called her and said that she and my vet were great "advocates" for me cuz what he found was much worse than it felt...kinda big ugly tumor but it was growing towards my head, not towards where they could feel it easy. Pathology said it was cancerous. And da oncologist said it was gonna come back. Well...phooey ptooie on that. Everybody pounced on this faster than me on cheese... And I feel great...beeen driving Barney and Cindy both crazy. But Cindy...well...this was all really hard on her. She hasn't been sleeping so good. Even knowing how fast she noticed this and all...well...she lost my great Uncle Einstein to cancer and her human parents too... She's kinda scared. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Plus Power of the Paw > Our Angel got her wings this a.m.

Ellie CGC Born to be Wild     Barked: Sat Feb 16, '13 9:17pm PST  Dear Angel...you will be dearly missed, just as you were dearly loved...and while anyone would wish for more than 15 months in a loving home, those were 15 months of joy and blessing. Your spirit and your memory will warm your familiy's hearts forever. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Ellie CGC Born to be Wild     Barked: Wed Feb 6, '13 10:09pm PST  Good luck Angel! I just had my left anal gland removed...there was a malignant cancerous tumor in it...but acting early, and your momma and your vet acted pretty darned fast, helps tremendously. We hope your momma understands that she has done very well for you on this...she was very observant, she got you seen... Paws raised to heaven on your behalf... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Food Advice

Ellie CGC Born to be Wild     Barked: Sun Jan 13, '13 7:49pm PST  You might want to check with some other Shiba Inu folks about nutrition, too...I'm not aware of any issues specific to that breed but the folks "in the breed" are usually a great reference, and you can probably find info on line. When picking your food, obviously the ingredient list is key, but what your pup likes is huge. Also check into the availability of your food too...there's some great products out there that can be hard to find, depending on where you live. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > What should I feed my lab/collie pup?

Ellie CGC Born to be Wild     Barked: Tue Dec 25, '12 9:13pm PST  This info was from 2011, but the differences are probably still useful for comparison...for dry dog food Nutro Max was $1.23 per lb, about $37.00 for the large bag Taste of the Wild was $1.69 per lb, a little about $49.00 for the large bag. http://www.dogforums.com/dog-food-forum/92345-helpful-dog-fo od-price.html Not everyone can afford the higher priced foods. Nutro Max is an affordable alternative for those who want to avoid whole ground yellow corn and meat by products. Dog Food Advisor gave it 3.5 stars out of 5. http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/nutro-max-dog-food- dry/ my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > Does your dog like water on their kibble?

Ellie CGC Born to be Wild     Barked: Sun Dec 23, '12 7:43pm PST  There are few kibbles that I will eat...but the ones I like, I actually prefer dry. I like crunching on things. Cindy sometimes puts a little bit of topping on my kibble but soaking it in warm water isn't palatable to me. We do know lots of folks that use warm water or chicken broth to try and make kibble more appealing. My brother Barney doesn't really care, he either likes a kibble or he doesn't. But he likes more stuff than me. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Ellie CGC Born to be Wild     Barked: Sun Dec 23, '12 7:32pm PST  I found this info useful about allergies...especially chicken... http://www.ehow.com/about_6528867_chicken-allergy-dogs .html http://www.ehow.com/about_6584795_chicken-allergies-dogs.ht ml The primary allergens are proteins...but depending on the severity/sensitivity level, as these articles state, sometimes removal of any chicken product is required. I do know doggers allergic to chicken who tolerate chicken fat in treats...but they can not tolerate chicken, chicken meal, or chicken by products...any of those would have chicken p;rotein. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
