...well, Mr. Binx had lunch anyhow! ...

I am feeding him straight canned Eukenuba right now.
I am 'afraid' to go to dry...cause of his chompers;
though, I wondered about the chewing effect.

Maybe I will get him some raw hide, and let him decide if he wants to chew on that???

Glad sumbuddie had tyme fur lunch !

Dad sez the thought of a BIG Dawg hooked on Top Shelf canned grub soundz a lil *pricey* to him! But if that gets his underweight condition to improve for now - you can convert him to Krunchie stuff later.

But you CAN make BigDawg Puppy Krunchiez into almost a mush (Eezy to gumm up ) iffin you *soak* the Krunch in warm water long enough!
Example: da Kat getz 4-5 pieces of his hard Chikun Krunchiez put in his waddur kup ebery mornin...
by evening they have disolved into mush that breaks apart if they are just touched. (Sorrie Miz Johanna - he jest duzint go fur da KLAM Juze inna waddur!!) He reelee *goez* fur the Chikin Waddur!!

As for the RawHide to chew on...
Might be OK to try under *close* supervision ~
gotta watch that he doesn't choke on it!! If he mouths a rawhide bone long enough - it will turn quite soft. Keep a close eye on him to be sure he doesn't start to bleed from the gums, though.

Does Mr BinX have ANY teeth showing - or are they all covered by his gums?? Too bad he can't get in to see the Dental Vet before next week!

And Hey, Mom ~
Fire up the DiggyKam tanite -
We wunt PIX!!

He he he...I told my sister (who has Abby, the Lhasa Apso) that Mr. Binx gets fed 3-4 times a day, a can and 1/3 to a can and 1/2. She did the math, and said, that was 4-5 cans a day!!! She thought I meant the 12 oz soup can sizes...HEHEHEHE...He is eating the half cans...I guess 6 oz...but, it is expensive. I think I will try Phred's suggestion about the soaking of the crunchies. I just hate to switch him around anymore than I have already. But, I can't keep him on canned.....not if we want to stay in the house...he he..

I think I will keep him on the canned until the weekend...then, add some kibble, soaked in water. I wish the vet appointment was sooner. Well, time to go home to see Mr. Binx! I will pick up some film on the way....get some 'action' shots...hopefully not of him chasing the tuxies!!!! See you guys tomorrow.

None. It is the strangest thing I have ever seen. Not a single one.

So glad to hear that you got this pup! I still love the pic you've got of him and I can't wait to see more! He's such a cutie! Looking forward to hearing more and more as your adventures continue with Binx! I love St. Bernards and I'm sure you'll be so attached to your new pet extremely soon. It may take some time for the cats and him to get used to each other, but I'm sure it will all work out in the end and be a great new addition to the family! I'm so excited for you!

[Cincy'sMom]

I'm so happy you got your Binxy boy!!!! YEAH!!! Sounds like things are going well so far. Don't worry...there will be some rough spots...but we'll all be here to help as much as we can!

Can't wait to meet the Mr Binx! He sure is a cutie!!!

I must have been on another planet ........ didn't see this post until today.

WOW - from Kitty Kats to GREAT BIG LOVABLE St Bernard .... You are one brave lady!!! Must have been the "dog flu" you caught at the Dog Park

You are truly amazing - rescuing this beautiful boy from a horrible, uncaring person (which she obviously was).

I see Binx's love of tinned food might affect the way you currently live - i.e. in a HOUSE??? Hee, Hee ...... Phred's idea is a good one.

Pics pretty please?????

Congrats

[Vermontcat]

Congrats on the new dog Cataholic! Or are you a Dogaholic too now?
Somehow I pictured you with a Border Collie like the one that is Dog of the Day today.
But I guess when you do something like get a new dog you do it in a big way!
Didn't you meet the Pet Psychic lady recently? Did she say there was a big dog in your future?

I just wanted to say CONGRATS on your new (BIG) baby!

For a Cataholic, you're pretty good at this dog stuff

Looking forward to watching Binx grow into one of the gentle giants I love so much. We have a Great Pyranees pup at work. He's 2 months old and is HUUUUUUUGE already!
