Poor Chance He's working those blue toe covers though, lol.

Hey Carolyn. Shane did well with venison and lamb based foods. I have not tried any other foods with Shane since he is doing so well on his current food. You could try adding some cooked vegetables, carrotts and grean beans. Shane loved that! I found that if they get hungry enough, they will eat. LOL Chance has a deformed foot and posted a picture of that last night. It is also in our photo album.

Hi,

Jazz is still doing great. In the past, he has always gotten tired of his food after a month or two and sure enough this is beginning to happen now. I started mixing Tripe in with the kibble and that has helped but now he's tired of that too. I can try mixing a different flavour of wet food in with his kibble but was wondering if you ever had any other kibbles that Chance and your other dog did well on. I was thinking if I could find another 1 or 2 then I could rotate them so that he doesn't get bored with his food and stop eating. If not, then I'll just try mixing different wet foods.

How are you doing? You were pretty frustrated a couple of weeks ago with all of Chance's health issues. Any news?

Carolyn

Just got back from getting the heartworm meds for the two of them. The testing and meds cost me $295 for the two of them...sheesh!

Jazz is completely transitioned onto the new food now and is doing great. He's gained 8 pounds!!! He feels so much better now. We've struggled to put weight on him so I'm over the moon. I can't thank you enough. I remember you saying sometimes you hesitate to recommend the food but you shouldn't because you've made a huge difference for Jazz and for me

Thanks! That's the one I use with Bunny so I'll use that. My vet said since the Katrina dogs were relocated they've seen a dramatic increase in the number of cases so I will definitely put him on them.

Not sure if I spelled that right or not, but he has not had any problems with it at all.

I give him Interceptor. No issues at all.

Just wondering, do you give Chance heartworm prevention meds? I'm afraid that it will cause Jazz to have diarrhea but I also don't want him to get HW.

I am so glad you are seeing an improvement. Whenever Chance was doing badly, they looked like mounds of dripped pudding. Almost the shape of a hersheys kiss, only grosser! LOL Not formed at all. The fact that they are at least formed is a good sign.

Hi, so far things are going well. Were at 2 cups Purina, 1 cup old food. His BM's have been good for the most part. We had a couple that looked perfect in form but were a little soft picking up but I think part of that was that he went in really long grass in the field and it was just challenging to pick up. They've been good for the most part though. I'm cautiously optimistic! Thank you so much for the suggestion and your advice. I will definitely keep you posted
