I just tried the Natural Balance dog food rolls. There was a sample in their bag of food. They went nuts. I think this was the first time I ever had Jigs complete attention. Gotta get more of this for training and camping.

Micah - 23 months 67lbs Jigs - 10 mnths 35lbs - Malnourished puppy rescue

The same thing happened to Jigs when he got his rabies shot. I freaked. Lumps scare me to death. The vet checked him and said it was from his shot. She said it could take several months to clear up but it only took a couple of weeks. Hang in there and keep an eye on it. If it changes, run...

When Hannah was skunked she took a shot in the face and chest. Boy did she stink. I contacted a grooming service and they sold me some deodorizing pet shampoo made by NILodor. One bath and she was good to go. Micah was skunked recently and I had some left and used it again, two year old...

I was going to put Micah on California Natural when we first got him We live in rural Southwestern Colorado and the closest place I could get it is 40 miles away. I tried contacting the person who sells it but she wouldn't return my calls.

Update on Jigs First let me thank everyone for their advice. It appears that Jigs is allergic to Wellness. When we started adding Wellness back into his food he started throwing up again. I switched him to Natural Balance and he was doing great. No more vomiting. One night when I wasn't...

This reminds me of when we first got Hannah. When my sister in law saw her she didn't say much but apparently told her daughter they grow up to be really ugly dogs. Of course my neice repeated it to me. My sil was horrified that I found out what she said. The funny part is she loved Hannah...

We have always taught our dogs "out of the kitchen". They are never allowed in the kitchen when I am cooking, not only to keep them from thinking they are going to get something but also so they don't get burned by splattering grease. We have taught them to go to the carpet off of the dining...

I just spoke with our vet tech who called to check on Jigs. She said he had elevated Lipase levels but not elevated Amalyse levels. They believe this was brought on by a fatty meal he somehow got into???? He has not vomited since coming home yesterday and is being fed three times a day in...

I just did a search on pancreatitis on the web. The only symptom he was showing is vomiting. The really baffling part about this is he had no fever, no stomach pains, definately no loss of appetite and was not lethargic. There was no change at all except for the vomiting. The vet put him on...

I will try to keep this short. We adopted a pup a few months ago that was severly malnourished. At the time we adopted him he was approximately 6 months old and only weighed 17 lbs. We have had him 3 months and he has gained 18lbs but is very tiny. The problem is 4 days ago he started...

Can't wait to see the pics. Micah likes my husbands old socks tied together. He will hook one foot in the circle and then play tug of war with himself.

I'm glad Buster will get some justice from this and I also hope his abuser will stay in jail for a very long time. As for the woman, it's very hard to explain why we do this and how hard a cycle it is to break. My first husband was abusive and I honeslty believed it was my fault and if I...

Congratulations on your new family member. I want to resuce but the the rescue in Colorado will no longer home to the western slope or rural areas....two strikes for me. I'm going to keep looking though. I have boxer fever really bad.

Micah is afraid of absolutely nothing. This boy will stand up to anything. Hannah was afraid of thunder. She would hide under the bed if I wasn't home or curl up in my lap and shiver if I was.
