Chipper + Cat Food = Ick! Ick! Ick!

[wolf_Q]

I'm glad to hear Chipper is feeling a bit better after he was sick again. I'm hoping all he has is a sensitive stomach. It doesn't take much to give Nebo diarrhea, he had it fairly regularly (about every 2 weeks) as well as throwing up when he was on a chicken based food (natural balance). He's had lots of tests, more than once, and they've never found anything wrong with him. He's been a lot better since he's been on a venison based food (natural balance too). I've come home to diarrhea and throwing up in his crate several timnes and rushed him to the vet only to spend lots of money and find out nothing. I've stopped buying any of the "soft" treats except Zuke's they all seem to have lots of colors, propylene glycol, etc. in them. I still give him milkbones (one in his kong each day) I know they aren't the best but he loves them and they don't seem to bother him. It's not that uncommon for Nebo to skip his dinner either, maybe Chipper is like him.

I'm so glad hes doing better!

I'm really glad to read that Chipper appears to be on the mend. I had to stop giving Sasha rawhide treats earlier this year. She got the same reaction, vomiting and dirreah. She's not had them in over 6 months now and is doing just fine.

Thanks everyone.

He's still having diarreha but it's not explosive or bloody. He turned his nose up to breakfast but I think he's just really tired of the prescription Eukanuba that MSU sent home with us. I mixed in a little Canidae and he started to eat.

He's also been having some stinky farts. Phew! Making my eyes water.

Poor Chipper. Tummy problems are no fun at all. I do hope he continues
to improve day by day.

Phew!

Stinky Phartz ...

A sure sign someone's visited the Hunter's Deli across the road ...
and partaken of some *fresh* Deer Burgers.

Happie Howly Daze!!

Maybe you can slip him a Bean-o! Seriously, I am wondering if there is something like that for dogs with such problems. I'm sorry to hear that his tummy has not completely settled down. Then again, he has come a long way from the sick little boy he was not long ago. I give Bella and Ripley bully sticks occasionally. They love them and they last forever. Bella is a voracious chewer and it takes her ages to finish one.

LOL Pam! I know! There you go...something you can invent.

Actually, the stinkies are subsiding and now if we smell a little gas, we know it's time for a bathroom break.

His diarreha is all gone and he's back to his chipper and food devouring self. Despite him giving us the "eyes", we gave him no treats and spent a lovely holiday with no ill after effects.

Thanks for the info on the bully sticks. Kia and Chipper are also voracious chewers and we have been hesitant spending $11 on something that might be gone in mere minutes.

He did get to spend a short time at the Bark Park on Christmas Day. He sorta came when we called and unfortunately was attacked by a husky mix. He's okay though and it didn't seem to faze him. He kept greeting others and played hard with a young GSD and a Toller. He just ran and ran and ran.

He starts obedience school on January 10th.

Hey Kimmy, next time you come down, we have Bully Sticks at the store for $3.99. Glad that the gas has subsided.
