    No more diarrhea and mucous, still noisy stomach, not wanting to eat (long)

    Monday night update - she has been eating 100% EVO since Friday night, and doing fine. Had to switch to 100% because when it was mixed with the Solid Gold Holistique Blendz, she was spitting out the Solid Gold and just eating the EVO. Stools have been solid since that one bad one on Friday...

    Innova EVO

    $58 US for the large bag? Yikes.. here in Canada, the 28 lb large bag is $57 Canadian currency.

    No more diarrhea and mucous, still noisy stomach, not wanting to eat (long)

    Update again So.. she has been great for a few weeks now on the Solid Gold Holistique Blendz. Stools are perfect. However, most meals she still needed coaxing to eat it, because of the blandness of the food and low energy content. So.. bought a small bag of EVO, and mixed it 40% EVO 60%...

    No more diarrhea and mucous, still noisy stomach, not wanting to eat (long)

    Update - stools have been perfectly normal since that one bout of mucous on Tuesday. Her appetite is back - eating food dry with no coaxing. She is also now acting completely normal (hyper). We will keep her on the Solid Gold until that bag is done, and then maybe try Innova EVO. Maybe it was...

    No more diarrhea and mucous, still noisy stomach, not wanting to eat (long)

    She gets 3 cups of the Solid Gold right now. Instead of 1.5 in the morning (6am) and 1.5 at night (5:30pm) we are changing it to 1 cup at 6am, 1 cup at 5:30pm, and 1 cup at 10pm. She's not too thrilled about the food at first, so we mixed up a batch of beef broth cubes (low salt) into boiled...

    No more diarrhea and mucous, still noisy stomach, not wanting to eat (long)

    MomToBooBoo - we tested her for Giardia - said that in the middle of my first post. Her stool tonight loose again, with pink mucous - the color of pink grapefruit. About 30% of it was mucous. Stools were perfectly normal yesturday. The mucous/loose stools usually come 1/2 - 2 days after a...

    No more diarrhea and mucous, still noisy stomach, not wanting to eat (long)

    Monday morning her stomach was making the noises, but I coaxed her into eating. Once she got the taste of the food, she started to gobble it down no problem, and then it obviously made her feel better. That is what we have been finding for the last 2 months while the stool problems were...

    No more diarrhea and mucous, still noisy stomach, not wanting to eat (long)

    Last month, our 1-1/2 year old Stella started having very loose stool, not quite diarrhea, with mucous - pink and stringy, looked like worms. Not wanting to eat either. Sent it in for parasite testing - came back negative. Negative in April too when her yearly checkup occurred. I had asked...

    Canidae - how much to feed?

    My bag says adults 25-50lbs - 1-2 cups. 50-75lbs - 2-3 cups. Therefore a 50lb dog should get 2 cups. It is pretty rich, and is enough, even though it doesn't look like enough.

    Medi Cal

    Funny - we're in Southern Ontario too - the first vet we went to sounded like she hadn't heard of Canidae, and once she heard it was an all life stages food, recommended the top 4 brands available in Canada - Science Diet, Eukanuba, Royal Canin or Medi-cal, the last of which they sell there of...

    cropping ears

    I'd say they are younger when cropping. Our Stella was 6 weeks when cropped. 7 weeks for shots, brought her home at 9 weeks. She is now 15 weeks old, and the posts have been off for a week. One ear is perfect, the other is slightly weaker, but is always standing - just looks a little quivery...

    Is this weight ok for 8 weeks?

    Our Stella was 10 lbs at 9 weeks when we brought her home. She is now 14 weeks, and about 16-17 lbs. Ribs aren't showing as much now.

    how old until they can hold it all night??

    We brought our Stella home at 9 weeks. We started with her crate in our bedroom at night, and after about 5 days, she was sleeping through the whole night. We kept her there for another week, then started leaving her crate downstairs where it is during the day. We slept on a matress on the floor...

    gotta switch crate size. help please

    I used a piece of plywood as a divider. I cut it so it was 2" wider than the crate, and cut notches with a jigsaw where the horizontal bars are. Then I slid the divider into the crate on an angle, and stuck it in one side between two vertical bars. I then had to pull out on the other side of the...
