hi i have a 12yr old malamute bitch

for the last couple of days i have noticed that she smells awful and on her back end there appears to be stains on her legs plus her fur stinks at rear end of urine

i have bathed her

got rid of most of stains but comes back

she doesnt seem to be urinating anymore than usual ,she has a touch of arthritis in back leg i am using saha's blend for that seems to be working ok

i thought i would post my prob for any feed back or thoughts on subject

if it gets worse i think it be a vet visit

My 2 year old Stafford was showing symptoms of Pancreatitis and her blood test showed up a slight abnormality. I fed her the Tuckertime chicken and rice flavour and nothing else for two weeks and she did really well on it. I'm now in the process of slowly getting her back onto a raw diet. I've had to reduce the fat and bone in her diet and she can't have her food changed daily eg chicken one day, beef the next. She still has the odd sick day but it doing much better. I'm going to try her on the Vets All Natural Complete Mix mixed with lean meat and any bones she can handle such as kangaroo tails. It's frustrating because she's looking very lean for a Stafford but it's hard to get the weight back on. Goodluck with your doggy.

thanx for reply i will just keep her comfy and see how it goes ,will try chicken and rice

hi folks

i have just been told by my vet that my 9yrs old malamute has pancreatitis and is on medication

i'm not to sure what name of pills are

my query is this does it kill ,and what can be done apart from huge vet bills (which i dont mind paying)

vet stated whether its true or not as i would like an opinion on this also that bones plus fatty foods can cause it

so now they have said no more bones/chicken frames ever ,so now if all goes according to plan she can only have supercoat lite and mature

i would like some feed back from any one who has experienced this and is the vet always right

much appreciated

i use eucalyptus wool mix on my malamute and golden retriever cross been using it for yrs only use a small amount great for long coats and smells great

hi all my golden retriver cross has arthritis has had it for a few yrs she is 8yrs old vet said its a back bone problem and when we first noticed her limping and shaking a bit in legs took her to my local vet he put her on sashas blend straight away after about a week she was jumping and running around like a 2yr old and so my big suggestion is ppl use sahas blend great product and it works
