Chipper + Cat Food = Ick! Ick! Ick!

Progress!!!

Came home and Chipper had no mess in his crate. Andy took him out and said he had a tiny diarreha.

I took him out again at 6:30 and his poop was soft but no diarreha!

Just took him out again at 9:30 and another soft tiny poop. YAY!

He's enjoying his dinner right now.

I think he's on the road to recovery and the cats have told him to stay the *bleep* away from their food.

... no mess in his crate.

Sure hope Chip's Tummy has "rested" enough to tolerate a load of DAWG food!

... the cats have told him to stay the *bleep* away from their food.

Boots, da Kat, tried that "bleep" talk with Shadow (Husky/Shepherd, RB )
back when Boots moved in ... Shadow never seemed to *get* the message!

Our "fix" was to relocate the Kat's Krunch Bowl to the bathroom - up on the Vanity.
MUCH less of a temptation up there than when sitting beside the Dawg Bowl!

You Guys might look into a small Dawg Crate fitted with a small KAT Door to
use as the Feeding Room for the Kats.

Good Luck!

Dinner consisted of a half a cup of food where he normally would get two cups. And he didn't eat it all, maybe half of it. We're just happy he has an appetite and we're letting him take it slow. So worry not. It wasn't a load of dawg food.

The cat's food and litterbox are in the back bathroom. Unfortunately it's one of those deals where it has a sink, but no counter space. I think during the day we'll place the bowl in the sink, till we can figure out how to put something large enough for the cats to comfortably sit on while they eat and that Chipper can't reach. It's a wee tiny bathroom.

Here's Logan modeling the sink.

I STILL don't know WHY the Dawgs - Old Shadow and now Cinder & SmokeMutt -
didn't / don't just

* walk into the bathroom
* STAND on their back legs
* gently *pull* the Kat Krunch Dish a bit closer
* and PIG OUT on Kat Krunch! They (except poor Bowz) can EASILY reach it!


They KNOW the Kat Krunch is in there ... sillie Kat plays Krunch Hockey with his food
and tosses pieces down on the floor every day - which the Mutts happily lick up.

Why am I complaining? Should be thankful that they DON'T raid the Kat's Krunch!

BUT --- I *DO* have to flush the Tootsie Rolls in the Sandy Box as soon as they appear or
when we come home - THEY *go* pretty quickly if not attended to!

Kimmy, I'm so glad to hear that Chipper is finally improving and I hope he continues to do well.

The last time that Starr had bad diarrhea I didn't feed him for about 1 1/2 days and then I fed him some rice with a little bit of chicken broth mixed in. Then the next day I fed him very small portions several times a day. I know that my carpet has also seen it's share of the runs and I've found that Simple Solution works very well to clean it up and to get the odor out.

I don't check in as regularly as I should, but I'm glad to hear that silly boy of yours is doing better
I was just thinking about you all this afternoon and wanted to give some hugs and kisses to those furries of yours

PS I don't think I ever thanked you for the wonderful card so...THANKS

[ramanth]

Thanks everyone!

Chipper is back to his chipper self. Poops are normal and chaos has resumed in the household.

Happy to hear you liked it Anna.
