Kai's back from the Vet's.. good news and bad news

[chocolatepuppy]

I'm sorry to hear this Ashley. That's great that Kai lost some weight. Hopefully his hips will hold out for a long, long time.

Ah, poor Kai. You've posted about how much he loves agility, and he always looks happy doing it. I hope something works out so he can continue. And a big congratulations on his weight loss. How does that 50% pumpkin diet work out on his digestion? I've been considering what I can do for Shermie, he's a little too hefty right now too.

Thanks 50% pumpkin seems to be working really nicely! I don't do poop clean up in the yard anymore since the poop from raw fed dogs turn into white dust after a few days, but I'll take a look tomorrow for you LOL He's acting pretty happy about his meals though. As far as he's concerned, he gets to eat even more now! I think 50% might be a bit drastic for most dogs but for such a small dog, he had a lot of body weight to lose.. about 25% .. so I guess a drastic change was needed.

Poor Kai's hips.. I wish there was some way to throw Joe Brandt out of business.

Oh don't worry.. I'm working on it. I'm going to be emailing a bunch of Sheltie enthusiasts/breeders (starting with the breeders I know he likes to work with) so that they too know about the damage he's doing to our breed. The local news stations have been doing lots of stories about dogs (mainly bad breeders) so it'd be great to get them involved too.. not just to spread word about this horrible breeder, but just about responsible breeding in general.

Poor sweetie. Having dealt with a very active RB Cody with horrible hips, I feel so bad. Hopefully the weight loss will help some. I love your babies and pray for their health. Please give them smoochies from me!
