Semavi Lady,
The photo of your mini looks just like my little brat-Teddy Bear. He is a four year old grade mini that owns the hearts of everyone he meets. He even rules my quarter horses at times.
Thanks for the info on the chocolates. Jake is getting better every day. I have been concerned that the vet didn't issue any probiotics for him. I give yogurt to all my wilds to stimulate good gut flora when they arrive here. I have some for Jake to start on tomorrow. So far he seems to have good BM and his urine output is good. He ate slow at first and multiple times a day. Today he has become very aggressive over his food and even growled at my husband and granddaughter. I was happy that he was not aggressive about it, but it seems that has now begun. I had a springer that was so bad after parvo that we had to push his bowl to him with a broom. He never gained any weight and always seemed to be just a little less than brilliant after the parvo. Jake is normal except the aggression over his food. We will work on that though.
Linda
