  4. fair enough - I am just going on what my vet explained to me :)
  5. just so you can see how much it absorbs - put a teaspoon in some water in a glass, and leave it for 20 mins or so. - it's amazing! :)
  6. psyllium is just the husks from the plant .They absorb HEAPS of moisture ..and swell into a gel. I was told to always soak it well before adding to food - and start of at about a 1/2 teaspoon of dry psyllium husk first . ( this all Hamlet ever had after his obstruction surgery ..and it worked very well.) if it is fed dry ..then it MAY - may- absorb too much liquid from the gut, and actually CAUSE constipation ;) it is not really a diet change as such ... merely a glob of soluble fibre to help stuff pass easily thru the intestine :) I have used it in humans/dogs/cats/horse - for digestion/furballs/sand colic.
  7. Friends owned a wei - such a laid back dog :) She was a duck dog - then retired . Good traveller ... would bark at strangers, but was very good with people.and liked kids :)
  8. :) psyllium is wonderful stuff - glad things are looking better.

  12. ? ? what made you come to that decision....
  13. Welcome :) Whichever breed you get - if you get a puppy , it will be 12 mths or so before it can safely go cycling etc with you - because of possible damage to young ,growing joints . Have you read the info on Wei's HERE ? That is included in Dog Breeds 101 , found HERE. Why does OH think a wei would suit your home? What would YOUR ideal dog be? How high are your fences..and of what material? *as an aside- to be able to cycle around the Blue Mtns sounds lovely * :)
