they get minced turkey necks with dog slops...some more info in this DOL topic http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/226201-barf-vegies/ Mac and Daisy still get the vegie slops but Penny has blander food, they all get a little Blackhawk fish & sweet potato kibble as well as turmeric and a little kelp powder sprinkled on top I also give them homebrand mackerel in oil or water, they just love it. Mac and Daisy get 1/3 of a chicken frame after their tea and Penny gets a couple of cut-up chicken gizzards...she can't have bone at all as she tries to swallow them whole and they get stuck.

Penny (17) was getting the tummy ache after her dinner, the vet said to cut out all the acidic foods (like acv) and give her sweet potato and pumpkin with her minced turkey necks (my dogs are mostly fed raw). Maybe your dogs are getting the stomach ache. try feeding them a different brand of kibble and add the juice of boiled chicken frames or the juice of boiled sweet potato/pumpkin. Make a doggy-type soup out of the kibble and juices (Westiemum calls it westie-soup) and mix in some cottage cheese or mackerel

I usually fast the dog then give a light meal of boiled rice adding the strained liquid of a chicken frame that has been chopped up and simmered for 4--5 hours. I usually add some powdered charcoal (1/4tsp) to this bowl of slop and sometimes slippery elm seems to work

Pics of Little Red Man in tartan coat pls. :D LOL. I'll get one tomorrow. How is he going DDD? and... tartan coat piccies please -
this is not a bad price, one left. would it fit Sarah and Andy? eBay item number: 112015090081 http://www.ebay.com....F8AAOSwxndXTrUV eta, would it be worth while buying that wrong-size door, taking out the doggie door and putting it in your door? you also get a screen door with it
-
Is there a demo place near you? perhaps measure up your original door and buy a second-hand door that is the same size and has a doggie door already in it also search gumtree...there is this one at Brighton, is that too far from you? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/brighton/building-materials/wooden-door-and-security-screen-door/1114905391

Tears in my eyes. I am so sorry, what a lovely boy.

Little Red Man’S Roller Coaster Journey:
Boronia replied to Loving my Oldies's topic in Palliative Care Forum
It was not a smooth ride ....... nor a smooth finish . On a couple of days Danny was pretty sick (he is very old after all and we elderlies have bad days) and all I wanted to do was to lie on the couch with him, but at times I was so cross, I just had to leave the house for a few hours. The man is, I believe OCD, and I don't think I have ever experienced anyone so argumentative. Anyway, I can now spend as much time as I like lazying around with Danny and the others :laugh: :laugh: But is it all better now? Shoddy job from last time fixed? good news about the finishing of the painting débâcle DDD. have you seen these dog halo vests? maybe you can make one for Danny https://www.google.c...iw=1375&bih=805 -
How Do You Help An Old Dog That's Going Deaf?
Boronia replied to Stitch's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Daisy gets her after-dinner bone in the walk-in pantry (it's a 1m x 2m room) If she is given her bone somewhere else where she perceives the other two may nick it she is anxious so she has her own private-time for bone eating. After she has finished whines to be let out but if I am tardy she barks a demanding bark (Westies are past masters at the demanding bark) to be let out. I reckon she can hear the bark in her head...no ears needed. -
How Do You Help An Old Dog That's Going Deaf?
Boronia replied to Stitch's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Daisy has been deaf for over a year now, we cope ok with hand signals and stomping on the floor to get her attention. I find the gentlest way to wake her up (if I need to) is blow on her head so she doesn't get startled. when Daisy could hear I am thankful that the obedience trainer taught us to do hand as well as voice commands -
Koala Park at Victoria Point (on the Cleveland- Redland Bay rd) excellent vets. Jo and Kevin's son Jed is practising there now and he is good. Their prices are also very reasonable. They have saved Penny and Mac eta...Donatella also takes her tiny little ones there
-
I'm so glad she came through the surgery ok, it's also good to know she is zonked out with painkillers. Hopefully Amber will be feeling heaps better tomorrow.

Arthritis - Whats Best For An Old Dog?
Boronia replied to Stitch's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Penny gets a monthly Pentosan injection (around $22) it keeps her from being too creaky, she is also on .5ml of Meloxicam daily so it all helps. She gets up the outside steps (17 of them) really fast but can't get down, bit of a bummer as she wants to go for a wee at 3.30am so she needs to be carried down. -
I can't help myself from posting...yep, Sideways Mac again I still think of my old xbred dog, Harry, who went over the bridge quite a few years ago, you do stop grieving WM, grieving turns to memories of the funny, and quirky things they did. Grieving turns into lovely warm memory-spots in your heart

Phew what a relief

Boronia replied to Loving my Oldies's topic in Palliative Care Forum
O dear DDD, old dogs are such a worry aren't they, and there is nothing we can do...what I mean is they are not going to get better. They get creaky and their hearts begin to fail but so long as their tails keep wagging furiously and they potter about happily that is all we can hope for. It just sucks Hugs from me and Creaky 17 year old Penny and my 16 year old Mac with his congestive heart -
