  1. Haven't been on forum for a while but I used to post my woes about Jasper, silver toy poodle, constantly licking feet and removing all hair due to ???? Who would know. Tried many different foods. Creams .. Don't use chemicals in the house. Yard fairly small and grass. Fenced off garden so he couldn't run through. Walked him on path not grass. Then after so much frustration , changed his diet , no kibble. Full of additives. He eats fresh chicken and some veg. But. For past 12 months he's had 1/2 prednisone every 3 rd day. Not touched his feet until this December I put frontline plus on. 2 days later vomitting and licked hair off back foot. Now I know what it was. Every month I'd been topping him up with it. Not any more. His foot has healed and his cone is off. So the tablets were the only thing that helped. He'd been wearing a cone for 3 years.
  2. CORRECT. Charlie vomits so I revert to bland diet. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  3. My aim is not to chop and change. Clearly the RC food despite being low fat was still upsetting Charlie's stomach and jasper scratching like a maniac. There has been no jelly poo for 5 weeks. So that end settling. I've decided I'm not giving biscuits at all. Will continue on the vets all natural. Cannot afford a blender atm to do the Augustine app recipe. Will be sticking to natural food. Will now look into heart worm options. I might also add that the owner of Augustine approved suggested sending hair samples to a place in coburg. Was certainly a lot cheaper than where the first vet was going to send. By the way. Jasper did have a skin scraping and they didn't even discuss the result. New vet is much more sensible. Charlie is so much better. He's running up and down stairs and playing like he's a puppy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  4. No I haven't as its cost me so much so far. I know when charlie had been sick and they were getting chicken and rice for so long that Jaspers scratching eased off. After the RC HYPO. He was non stop. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  5. I'm trialling 'the vets all natural ' with raw chicken. Have also been in touch with AUGUSTINE APPROVED. so far so good they are both eating every bit. Charlie has not been sick. Jasper still scratching but early days. I nearly got to the 3 month mark with Jaspers licking his feet but he licked his toes so soaked in calendula tea and wearing collar. Has anyone tried FAITH. sold by Augustine approved. Promotes wellbeing and after a long discussion with the guy he questioned the interceptor which as made charlie suck every single dose, every month. Do you really have to worm?? Are they at risk of heart worm?? They don't have contact with other dogs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  6. Yes this one is RC gastrointestinal. The other choice is hills id. Will see how it goes. It is much lower fat content than the other. I used to feed raw chicken necks, BARF , and some kibble. But switched to cooked because of Charlie. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  7. I had been doing that and then introduced sweet potato. It's pretty much always the same except the holistic select fish kibble( that we had up to recently) suited jasper but Charlie was sick on and off. That's why I changed and ended up with that silly cat hair ball control food which by the way also made Charlie vomit if he ate just that so I mixed with other basic food mix. I did look into the Augustine approved and the vets all natural. Not changing too much though yet. See how this low fat one goes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  8. The way I read is that they were only fed RC except for the weekend when they vomited. OK on rice/chicken mix. I'm reading that they were also not vomiting on the rice/chicken, Perse, since Charjas said they were OK on it. If they didn't vomit while on the RC dry food and they were OK on the chicken and rice. What did they eat in the period between the dry food and the chicken and rice that made them vomit? Charjas, with respect, do you mind me asking you to make your posts a little clearer. We can't try to help if we're not quite sure what's happening. edited to say: On reflection I suspect Charjas is saying they were doing alright on the RC dry until the weekend when they vomited. She then switched to the rice/chicken mix. If this is the case and the RC is the cause of the vomiting I would not be 'waiting for a month' whether the vet said so or not. I would be changing the dry food right away. Bought today the RC. GASTROINTESTINAL. only other thing I've noticed is jasper seems to scratch more on this brand Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I would be changing the dry food right away. The vet was attempting to trial the hypoallergenic one for at least a month because every 4 weeks Charlie would have bloody, jelly poo. Despite ultrasound being clear, the blood test was redone and still high. She thinks chronic pancreatitis so RC was bound to be changed. Even though he vomited a few times yesterday he was normal , running up stairs , chasing jasper this morning so it appears mild attack. Poos still normal. Ate the new kibble tonight. I fed nothing but RC , NO TREATS, until the vomits. So nothing else there to cause it All good tonight still. Dinner was at 4. It's now 10. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  10. Again I suggest a low fat dry food such as Canidae Platinum for the dog with Pancreatitis. I'm confused. What biscuits are you referring to? You said you only fed the RC hypoallergenic except for the weekend when they vomited. OK so what did they eat on that weekend that resulted in them vomiting? Are you referring to the dry food as biscuits? If so it seems they only vomited when you didn't feed the RC hypoallergenic on that weekend. No. They've had RC HYPOALLERGENIC for 3 weeks but as Charlie vomited once Thursday, Friday and jasper Saturday I gave chicken and rice for the weekend and went flack gradually to RC. However Charlie vomited 3 times yesterday so I'm now on RC gastrointestinal , started tonight. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  11. I did change vets and my previous post listed results Charlie high pancreas enzymes , liver ok. Jasper NO thyroid issue. Hence I've only fed RC hypoallergenic except for the weekend when they vomited. I actually think it's the biscuits. Ok on rice / chicken mix. She's talking about switching to a lower fat food. Waiting t see if Charlie goes a month. Their water is in my laundry. I have no ponds. Pool which is fenced. Small grass area. Nothing different in yard for years. Have fenced off area that possum poo was found and have spikes along fence so they can change route. Haven't done worm tab since last month. Due soon. Have NOT done frontline and do not flea bomb my house as we don't have fleas do not shampoo carpet. The other thing I've made a note of is jasper is scratching more these last few weeks and that would coincide with the new food?? I didn't have a problem with the holistic select per se but as now Charlie needs low fat food it wouldn't be suitable. Jasper was ok on it. I've had so many different views, feed raw , feed cooked meat, vets all natural White rice brown rice sweet potato , etc etc. it just gets more confusing. When we had some chicken neck some kibble jasper was ok but not always Charlie. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  12. Because I spoke to the vet Thursday and she wanted to continue on this food a bit longer. She wasn't concerned about a little vomit. He also seemed ok otherwise. That was Thursday arvo. Last night he had a vomit which was soft biscuits. He wasn't really interested in his biscuits this morning , I offered rice instead but walked away. At the moment he's chasing jasper round the house. Strangely also last night jasper only ate few biscuits and this morning he had a vomit. Yellow. Not food. He's been eating grass.the only thing they've had for 3 weeks is the biscuits but fathers day I had to buy more. Could it be new batch. I've always suspected Charlie does better on bland chicken/rice and few biscuits. As soon as I give biscuits only they throw up. To my knowledge jasper has no internal problems. Coincidence that both don't want these. RC HYPOALLERGENIC. I'm going to buy some chicken for the weekend. I know when the other vet sent me home with that hair ball cat kibble that Charlie couldn't eat it unless mixed with chick/rice/ sweet potato. My gut tells me less kibble. But low fat variety for both. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD THIS IS THE NEW VET.
  13. Thought I'd give an update to my boys. Both had blood tests. Jasper nothing wrong , no thyroid problem. Charlie liver fine still. But. His amylase and lipase in pancreas were off the scale. He had an ultrasound which didn't show anything bad. They both switched to RC hypoallergenic food but because of the reading will probably be switching again to low fat kibble. She can't understand how he's not very very sick. After the last episodes he's really good. Always running round and playing. I can't understand these levels as he's never had much fatty food. Because I always thought he was sensitive the diet has been pretty much similar. Fish kibble, chicken rice. So we're waiting for the next episode to decide next plan. He's just turned 6.

  14. This sounds exactly like my Charlie. I'll be following this too. I'm not sure if he had creatine test but amylase and lipase were 10 x rec level yet he's settled on RC hypoallergenic and he's not sick now.
