  1. That was such a good poem msy-sibe-ownes-me. I do not feel so bad at having to say goodbye to our Lacy Angel. I do hope she is happy there,
  2. Our Old Border Collie Lacy was given her wings today. She had battled the dreaded C for a while now. Today we had to say goodbye. Rest In Peace our Sweet Lacy Angel Dear friend this day has come all to soon We have to say goodbye We have to let you go for now To give you some wings for to fly Fly free Sweet Lacy Angel Fly free from the suffering and pain Your Daddy he really dose love you Please wait till you meet once again For eighteen years you worked by his side. With a love and a bond so true The pain that we feel now is unparallel As we take you for this your last ride Fly free Sweet Lacy Angel Fly free over Rainbow Bridge Where youth again awaits you Jast a little ways over that ridge Rest in Peace Lacy Angel. You will be sadly missed. So many years have gone since you first arrived as a bouncy bundle of black and white fluff. When we named you Lacy.Because you ate all the laces out of the shoes. So many stories to tell of how you climbed onto the roof of a neighbours new car Because it did not have a back on it like Dads ute. How you would round up the family cat and push him gently under the car. So many stories to tell. You will forever be in our hearts.
  3. My Husbands Boarder Collie had a stroke last May. She was unable to stand and if she did would stagger to the left and fall. We did the same as you canines4ever. I would syringe in glucose water and nutripet. and made her up some chicken broth. She was unable to stand for nearly five days. When she did would walk to the left all the time. She is still going rather doddery at times but is always there when foods up. She is 19 years old. I hope your little one recovers. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
  4. Yes Inspector Rex she is going again on Wednesday of next week. Gary is very good. He treated my other dog who hurt his shoulder when he jumped over a puppy pen. I will be taking him as well for another check over. I am lucky to as I have a friend who dose massage aswell.
  5. Hi Carabelle, Bloss344 mentioned the psyllium in her post. Have not added any yet but will get some next time I am in town. I was also reading that a little Lactulose syrup is good. She had a small amount of mackerel today with her ZD. She is gaining weight and looking quite good. (Would like to see a bit more shine to her coat.) She is just so full of herself.Yesterday noticed her reflection for the first time in the glass door. Spent most of the arfternoon barking at herself. Thought she was just soooooooo brave telling this strange dog off. :D I will slowly increase the fresh food as I would much prefer her on a more natural diet. But iff she has to stay on the ZD so be it. Just as long as she is happy and keeps healthy.
  6. Hi Inspector Rex. Took her along to see Gary, she was out only a little in the hip area. Will be taking her back on Wedneday for her follow up treatment. Maybe this has helped her as well. I have not changed anything to much re her diet while she is going so well. Have given her a chicken wing that she loved with no problems either. (supervised ).
  7. Thought I would give you an update on Boo. She has been going very well so far. One small attack after giving her a little cooked beef. So it is off the menu. She is basically on her ZD and I have been adding a little chicken or fish without any problems. Thank you all for your help. Let us hope that Boo keeps a happy healthy little girl.
  8. Never thought of her back being out. Will take her to Gary when I take my other boy for a check over. So far she is tolerating the chicken ok. Will try some beef next week for her. Thanks for the suggestion Inspector Rex. Thank you to fiery_di. I will let you know how she goes.
  9. So far little Boo is coming along nicely. I will keep to the bland diet that she is on and hopefully she will be ok. So sorry to hear about you Maggie Inspector Rex. We to are hoping it was just a severe reaction to the pork chew.Her symptoms were that she felt like she wanted to poo all the time but realy had nothing there and a very sore toshie from her straining. When she did an actual poo it was not hard or runny just a nice softish poo. She has had no problems before this either goldielover so I am hoping it was just a reaction to the chew. Thank you everyone for your help.
  10. Thank you again for all your help. I realy do not want to keep her on the Z/D diet much prefer to have her on a more natural diet. Even more so after reading the article that Dan has posted. My others are on a more barf type diet. Wll definatly not be feeding her anything to do with pork ever again thats for sure. Thanks again for all your advice. If I need to get some more help will post again.
  11. I had an idea that little Boo would be a bit high maintenance as well due to her small size. Thank you again for your help. I will check with my vet regards the psyllium. She seems to tolerate the chicken ok cooked. I will have to come up with some sort of treat that she can tolerate home made if needs be. Have you tried any fish for your Bob ? Or would this contain to much fatty oils do you think?
  12. Thank you for that Bloss344. My vet has said to keep things simple. and to keep a book of anything I change and should only do so one at a time so I will be able to tell the things that Boo cannot tolerate. How much of the Psyllium do you feed? Boo is a very small girl approx 2.5kg. Also what is your low fat diet that you feed Bob ? Thanks again for your help
  13. Hi there have only posed once before. I am in need of some advice. I have a little 4 month old. My vet diagnosed a colitis attack. Have placed her on Hills prescription diet Z/D. and she is now on her last day of noroclav. I have introduced a small amount of cooked chicken and cottage cheese. All seems well so far. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they do to stop another attack. The only food that was out of the ordinary that I had given her was a pork chew. I am sure this is what caused the attack. Never had any problems with other dogs with this treat. But will be cutting them out from now on. Any information re this problem would be greatly appreciated.
  14. Thanks for that I will go back to feeding the raw egg to the old guys in future and take out the white for the little fellow. Thanks again for all your help. And I will not panic.
  15. I always boil the eggs first then add to their dinner shell included. I used to feed them raw till I was told that it was not good for them. I would much prefer to feed raw as long as I know that is is safe.
