Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Gawd DDD I hope you figure it out. I would maybe try having several different foods (as you do) and the pattern so far is whatever he loved yesterday - he's going to turn his nose up today... so have something completely different on offer (eg pasta sauce?) - my dog likes the water that the pasta was cooked in - a little bit salty and starchy...

Loving my Oldies Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 The goodies arrived today from BM Pet Snax. They arrived when I was going out to an appointment, so I've only just been able to follow the instructions sent for feeding Danny. His first meal consisted of chicken, bone broth, few small pieces of dried green tripe, topped with a mixture of three types of powdered food (bovine pancreas, green tripe and kefir. The other dogs had the same and all bowls looked like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boronia Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Did he eat his breakfast this morning DDD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 :laugh: :laugh: Boronia, 9am EDST in my household is like 5am in a normal household . We are all very late risers. So that answer is - no, because I am chicken LOL He has had all his meds though and is wandering around with his tail half up which is a change. He has had a green tripe medallion which is about the size of 50cent piece. I will wait a little while to let him properly wake up. It is going to be a stinker here in Sydney today, so I I'll take them for a little walk before it is too awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Did he eat his breakfast this morning DDD? Only a tiny bit, Boronia. Unfortunately, he threw up when we came back from our walk (which was very very slow and short), so I didn't really expect him to eat anything. But as I was feeding the others, I put his bowl down. He didn't do his usual carry on as though it was poison and how could I be so cruel. A small improvement, but they all tot up. They are all settled down to sleep now Edited January 15, 2015 by Dame Danny's Darling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valbitz Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Whoops ! Posted twice. Must be excited :D :D Fantastic photo Did he eat his breakfast this morning DDD?Only a tiny bit, Boronia.

They are all settled down to sleep now Shame that he didn't keep breakfast down. Any chance the hot weather may have contributed to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 The throw up was before he'd eaten anything, Valbitz, and I did wonder whether it could have been the heat. The air conditioning is blasting away now. I thought I'd take a photo of the meds and food all set out LOL. A sense of the ridiculous has to help ....... I guess.

Ranga Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 LOL. I just gave him a try with a desert spoon of my coffee on a saucer which disappeared in a trice. He has so far this morning turned his head at Gussy Cat's food, bone broth and bone meal + broth (all of which he wolfed down late last night). But he has now had his caffeine shot, I'd better get my running shoes on. In all seriousness DD, be careful with coffee. I know coffee grinds are quite toxic to dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks Ranga. He never has much and my coffee is instant, even so, I will be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) I wish someone would rescue me What a morning!! I'm sure others have had worse, but mine is the one I live with. I had an appoinment at the vets for both Danny and Bunter: Danny to have the ulcer on his eye checked and debrided. Bunter because he has had a small lump on his tummy every since I adopted him from Renbury pound March 2011. The vet is not sure, but thinks it is a serbaceous cyst. It "leaked/burst" about 18 months ago, but soon cleared up with a course of AB. On Wednesday night when I lifted him up on the bed, the lump (which has probably tripled in size over the years) was very hard and a couple of times that day, he'd squeaked when I picked him up. I was nearly ready to leave for the vet this morning and noticed that Bunter was pretty subdued. He is a very quiet boy in any case and I actually had to push the little bit of peanut butter holding his heart tablet into his mouth. Unheard of!! Anyway, he went off to the water bowl and after a drink, settled down on the kitchen floor which is not unusual, but a bit odd. When he got up there was a huge puddle of brown/red bloody mess where he'd been lying. Luckily he tottered off to one of the donut beds, so I was able to pick him up in that and not hurt him for the trip to the vet. He is now on AB and bathing the site a few times per day. And back for check up on Monday. Because of his heart, vet is very concerned if he needs sedation for further procedure. The vet then checked Danny's eye, gave it a small debride, but is not happy with the way it is healing. I may have to take him to the specialist at ARH. They are brilliant there and Geoff Smith, the specialist, was the one who restored Bunter's sight. On my return home, I gave Bunter the first of his AB in a bit of food and then he and Danny then decided to have a throwing up competition One elderly person FTGH.

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 hugs DDD I wish I could fix it for you, but I suspect if anyone knew how to do that it would be done already... sigh. aloe vera, turmeric, coconut cream/butter stuff? Note - Aloe vera will stop licking but the other stuff might encourage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
