Kaige had an afternoon snack yesterday, pork back ribs (VERY meaty & very on sale)
last nights dinner:
2 chicken quarters each
2 chicken feet
beef liver
This mornings breakfast:
Nanook, Raustyk & Kaige had:
pork back ribs
1 chicken quarter
Indy had:
1 chicken quarter
1 chicken foot
As I stated before we upped Kaige's food intake and he's doing great with it. He has already gained a little more weight, all muscle, that's all he ever gains. lol
Nanook however has not been doing too well, health wise (mentality wise he's still doing great). I didn't want to post anything until we saw the vet. He went yesterday to have some blood drawn, nothing is too off from what it was before, and it's not even too off from what it should be for a healthy younger dog but there are a few things that are off. Nothing that can be corrected at this stage though.
The cancers are literally sucking the life right out of him. He's been slowly getting skinnier & skinnier despite how much we feed him. The last week though it seems as if he's loosing weight more rapidly. So his food intake is increasing even more. I hope it helps him at least a little.
Does anyone have any experience in feeding something to an older dog with cancers to try to keep weight on him?
-
Sue I'm sorry to hear about Nanook. I'll be keeping him in my thoughts. I love that boy. :)
Nova had two turkey legs, Luka had one turkey leg, Buck had a goat ham, and Mandy wouldn't eat.
-
Aww, Nanook! =( You need to get better, buddy. I hope all of that yummy extra Raw helps you feel more like yourself.
I don't have any experience with that, at all. You definitely need to ask for advice on Rawdogs, and the Rawfed Yahoo group! I have read posts in both about feeding dogs with cancer. Hopefully they can give you some good advice!!!

Yesterday was an eventful day for Nova and Buck (and me) so they were fed more than the other two.
Everyone had 1 lb green tripe. Nova and Buck also had a can of mackeral each, and a lamb shank.
I'm not sure yet what I'm going to feed them today.

Today Buck had a whole rabbit and Luka and Nova had a half a rabbit. Mandy had lamb neck bones.

Today they're getting half of a Salmon.
